He had an incredible angling career, fishing and winning matches in the 1950’s and breaking the Thames match record in 1956. He then went on to catch numerous specimen fish, many from his beloved river Thames. From his love of fishing he became the top taxidermist of his time and his works are highly sought after and in numerous collections around the world.
