John Darling RIP
I've just learned that John Darling died early this morning.
John wrote some very good stuff on sea angling, that influenced my early thinking. His more recent book on Bass Fishing (Crowood) was also very good. In recent years, he was better known for his writing on air gun hunting. He was an exceptional photographer. I knew John personally in the past ten years, or so, and sank a few pints in his company in the Golden Galleon, at Exceat Bridge. Regards, Tony Deacon |

I never had the pleasure of meeting him personally, but like you his writing had quite an influence, particularly his early articles in 'Angling' magazine and later his books on bass fishing. Another to add to the long list of those anglers and writers who were active when I started in the sport, and are now no longer with us. I'm starting to feel rather old. Cheers Ian D |
