Peter Stone was one of the greatest of all British all-round anglers. He was a great innovator and mainly responsible for the modern quiver tip rod and link leger. He was keen and adept at all styles of fishing. During the 40s and early fifties, whe was just about the best match angler on the Thames. He gave up match fishing about 1957 and concentrated on specimen hunting. He became a great friend of Richard Walker and the Taylor Brothers, fishing with them often.
I first met Peter in 1965 at one of the early meetings of the National Association of Specimen Groups in Melton Mowbray. Since that day we became good friends, and we corresponded regularly with each other ever since, even when I lived in South Africa. When visiting England in those days I always looked Peter up at his little house on Elmthorpe Road - Wolvercote.
I shal miss Peter's regular articles and comments in the angling press. But most of all I shall miss his lovely rolling Oxfordshire Accent which I found so delightful.
