He seldom strayed far in his 73 years from the villages of the valley of the upper Avon where he was born and died. But his fame spread across the world. He will be remembered for the way in which, with his tiny nymphs, he advanced the delicate art of fly fishing; but he was much more than a fisherman. He was a true countryman, full of wisdom and country lore, and loved the river Avon and the wild creatures who lived by and in it."
