I only learned recently of the death earlier this year of Hull angling writer and photographer Roy Shaw.
Roy was a regular contributor on Yorkshire angling and wildlife affairs to Angling Times, Fishing, Trout and Salmon, Trout Fisherman, Shooting Times, Yorkshire Life and Angling Telegraph. He was a brilliant man behind the camera who always had time for others. He taught me a great deal about photographic composition and darkroom techniques.
His great friend was another Yorkshire legend - Charles Derrick. Roy also fished a great deal with game angler Arthur Oglesby and was a member of the West Beck Preservation Society which enabled him to fish on England's most northerly chalkstream.
During the late 60s, Roy became a member of Tag Barnes' "The Ridings Specimen Group" along with Charles Derrick, Derek Gibson, Edward Hinchcliffe and myself.
