Happy 95th birthday to Richard Walker, 28 years gone but with us in spirit in this, the 60th Anniversary year of his classic book 'Stillwater Angling'. While we're celebrating, let's remind ourselves of his Lost Message:

Yes - Happy birthday Dick, - on the banks of a celestial Redmire! :Thumb:
And thanks, Fennel, for that interesting point - it's true that we all make cunning plans in the dark winter nights, - plans that simply do not work, come the summer! :Sun:

A tip of the hat and a raise of a glass to an angling legend. A few chapters of Stillwater Angling with a spot of port tonight in memory!

I shall raise a glass to Dick during the England v Ireland Friendly tonite.

One of these days I will get a copy of stillwater angling.
