Thanks for the welcome John and thanks also for the quick moderation of this post. I've been trying to think of this guy's name for about 10 years and I've exhausted all the search engines on the internet. Now I've gone back to old fashioned first principles and I'm hoping to find somebody of my age who might have a better memory than me!

I've been trying to recall the name of an angler from the 1970's. He gave up work so he could spend the rest of his life fishing and was often featured in the angling press, as much for his unusual lifestyle as for his catches. At the time, I think he must have been in his 40's and he travelled around Britain and Ireland with his homemade boat. I was a teenager at the time and thought he had the perfect lifestyle! I've often wondered what happened to him and I wondered if anyone else remembers this character.
