I've deliberately allowed this thread to run as it is a prime example of how it is possible for the name of a well known and respected angler to be dragged through the mud.
My first inclination was to delete it, but, as I expected, there has been overwhelming support for Mick Wood which was good to see, as the world these days seems to be full of cynics who doubt there are other people who set standards rather than try to follow them and fail miserably.
