One of if not the most famous angler the UK has ever produced? John Wilson has sadly passed away surrounded by his family at his home in Thailand

aged 75 and originally from Norfolk John was awarded an MBE for his services to angling in 2009, and also went on to write twenty books about the sport

John was also voted the UK's greatest angler by readers of the Angling Times


Angling Direct who were also established in John's beloved Norfolk were fortunate to conduct a recent interview with John on one of his most recent if not his last visit to the UK?

like so many John was a huge inspiration in my angling and my angling career
