Chris at the ‘Words on Water’ book launch, London, June 2009. photo by Wendy Barrett.

Fans of the great Chris Yates, patron saint of this parish and a massive inspiration to myself and many other anglers, should be aware that this weeks Angling Times comes with a tribute to the great man. Chris is (naturally) declared a ‘Legend of Angling’ in a magazine supplement featuring articles and interviews from the AT vaults. Well worth a trip to the newsagent.
If you have read this far then you will probably appreciate the news that Chris has just confirmed an appearance on our Caught by the River stage at the Port Eliot festival in July. More on that at a later date. (JB)
