Very sad, Peter was a good friend to me in times of trouble and in all times, always kept in touch despite me being here and him in the UK. Am really gutted to lose such a friend. A sad loss to the angling world and his family. A fantastic chap who always had time for others to listen and to exchange experiences. So glad he shared his stories and history of ordinary people's lives with us on here and more. Sadly the world of angling has lost another great fisherman. RIP Pete, hope you are dangling a line up there somewhere

I haven't looked at the Old School Angling thread for a while. Very sad to read of Pete's passing. An old school legend, I've enjoyed reading your stories. RIP.
Just been re-reading some of Pete's reminiscences. What a writer and what a fabulous thread this is! Pete was a really well known angler in his day, always in the papers, mates with the great and the good of the time (Walker, Taylor, etc.) and his stories shine a light on the old days and old ways. They are a delight compared to the hard bitten, cold and humourless jargon-ridden crap we are served up with today.
Deserves a bump IMO.

Been reading some of Petes stories as he was a nice guy and we talked privately about various things but mostly wildlife and foxes .
Sadly missed .
