Born 1971 and not an angler of note, but enjoys fishing for anything whenever life allows him.
Owner of Anglers' Net, Elton remains indebted to all of his friends, old and new, who have pulled together to help him create this site. It's amazing how an idea for a 'laugh' can turn into something so big, so quickly.
