Angling Times New John Wilson book
I have just pre-ordered the Angling Times new John Wilson book. This sounds very interesting.

My copy was delivered today and after having a quick flick through it looks very interesting. I shall read it over the weekend. It is more a 132 page quality magazine rather than a book.

Re: Angling Times New John Wilson book
Interesting that the cover describes John as our "greatest - ever angler". I am not sure about that, but then I am not sure who is our greatest ever angler......
Trouble is, the fish just don't read the books......

Re: Angling Times New John Wilson book
I think they would say the statement is supported by the poll they did?
edit - yes, in 2004 according to Wikipedia

Re: Angling Times New John Wilson book
I think that you are right Tengisgol. I was not aware of the poll, but then not all anglers read the AT. For example, I stopped ordering a copy in about 1970 - it was black and white in those days......

Re: Angling Times New John Wilson book
Unless I am mistaken this was the top 5 in the Angling Times "Greatest Ever Angler" poll.
1. John Wilson.
2. Noel Edmunds
3. Diane Abbott
4/5. The Chuckle Bros.
Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Fredline - your post looks perfectly feasible to me, but then I do rather live life in the slow lane here in rural Herefordshire.....

Re: Angling Times New John Wilson book
Is the book full of new material written up before John passed.
Or is it just a rewrite of the old publications ?
