Just got back from a week in the Northwest, so have only just seen this.   Andy was someone whose views on angling I greatly respected, and someone I hoped to meet at the waterside on one of my visi

Andy,   You know that's what catch and release was all about for Andy. He didn't want to eat his fish he just wanted to get acquainted so he could meet up with them later. I loved Andy's forum pre

My condolences too, he and I had some debates over the years in this and another forum. Like some others have said, we didn't always agree, but he took the time to write to me with answers to some of

Terrible news Andy, I'm so sorry for your loss and can't imagine how you must feel. Like many others on here I hadn't met Andy but your words are sufficient for me to realise that we've lost one of the good guys.

It's never a 'six', let's put it back

Sorry to read this Andy. "The Poachmeister" had a deep love of fishing and although (like myself) he could be outspoken and controversial at times he at least cared enough and was strong enough in his conviction to post what he thought! and simply because he not only wanted to protect his beloved pike but also help others understand/learn. I "met him" through AN many years back but like a lot of others from here I went on to "know him" on other online media and through regular conversations. Like many I never got to meet him in person. I'm saddened by this and also feel for you Andy as I'm sure you will miss him.

 

Yes very sad but I for one am glad to have had the chance to have known him (even though it was only in the "virtual" sense). I'm in no doubt he will be missed but like other great AN'rs who sadly passed will never be forgotten. Crying shame I never did get my "Absent friends" Bench project to fruition as Andy "Poachmeister" McFarlane would have definitely had a place on it.

 

Cant say no more. RIP mate.

And thats my "non indicative opinion"!

Andy gave me advice when I took Liam up to Loch Lomand pike fishing when he was 7/8 yrs old, he's 19 now so Andy has been on this forum a long time.

 

My condolences to his family and friends.

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Thanks guys I know his parents will be made up with the all the comments, I dont think they really knew how well liked he was in the angling community, anywhere you go you can bet he's always given golden advice and help to people who need it, my heart goes out to his family.

It is always sad to note the passing of another person who shares a love of fishing.

It is a good time to collect those positive memories & stories to remember for longer when the days get shorter.
