Used to watch his fishing programme every week when we lived in Thetford in the 70's.
Very sad loss.

Re: RIP John Wilson
Sad to hear this. I use to like the way he always 'posed' his photos with some wild flower or such to show the size of the fish.

"Look at that, what a clonker"
John was a childhood favourite of mine who's books and programmes were always a go to reference for tips on fishing, many of them are still put to good use today!
Tight lines John.
