A tree fell on an overheard power cable causing a power failure at Brownshill Staunch.

Has anyone done more to inspire so many others to get into fishing? John Wilson was well known and well loved across our region and around the world. Very sad news.
We're sad to hear of the passing of Angling legend John Wilson. A man who gave us all incredible fishing memories with his famous Go Fishing series.
John you will be hugely missed by everyone in the angling world. Rest in Peace.
