If this is in the wrong place then I am sorry - but it seemed the logical place to me.

Does anyone know if the above gentleman is still with us and well. If so I would like to make contact with him as he has played a small part in the Richard Wheatley story that I am researching and writing.

If you can help with an address please P.M.

Yep, still with us, and still contributes occasional, thoughtful articles to FF & FT and one or two other magazines. If you are struggling to find an address, FF & FT might be able to get a message to Geoff.

Back in the day, Geoff's articles, and books like "Fly fishing tactics on still water", very much lit the fire of interest in me for fly fishing. Along with writing by Dick Walker of course, and Brian Harris of the old Angling magazine.
