The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Just for those who are still wondering, this information comes from Len Arbery, a life long friend of Bob's and he explains how to pronounce Bobs surname.

"The way to pronounce Bob Buteux's surname is Ber-two; as in Londoners' pronunciation of 4X2 timber, ie. "four 'ber' two!".

That's precisely how I'd pronounce it

I first came across him through his book fishing with the famous it was a great read ive re read a few times and love his storys of fishing trips using his old motorbike as said before a angling legend I think we should try get him to do an interview

Bob is about 85 years old now but watch this space chaps.

I wish he come to the reditch fair as I would love to have chat with him and may be buy a book off him

He was there last year with Len Arbery.

Bob is usually at the various National carp shows with his second hand books. A wonderful chap to talk to.

Does anyone have contact details for Bob. I'm interested in a couple of books and have lost the business card I had.
