Sadly Fred passed away at about 9:00pm on the 7th. May. I will pass on details as they come to hand.

A great inspiration in the early days. I loved reading his books, not just on fishing but on country living.
RIP Fred -------------------- Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

Very sad...............
I grew up reading the articles/books of Fred J, Stoney, RW etc. There can be very few of the greats from that era remaing - makes me feel very old. RIP Fred -------------------- Barry

Sad, sad news. Fred J was one of the main inspirations in my early angling years. One of the few that could convey the 'magic' of those times. RIP Fred J Taylor MBE John. -------------------- Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

Younger members may not know, but Fred J. was an inspiration to a whole generation of anglers. I learnt an awful lot from his instructional writing, and was always entertained by his stories.
Unfortunately I met Fred only twice, both at charity events, including one of his famous sheep roasts. Fred truly was one of the greats, and will really be missed. My condolences to all the family. -------------------- Classic Fishing Books www.classicfishingbooks.co.uk 100s of fishing books for sale/wanted + reviews
