Death of Vic Beyer

Post by Mike J »

I have just heard that Vic Beyer has passed away after a long period of illness.

He was the inspiration I required after two fruitless years trying to catch Roach from the Hamshire Avon, gently guiding my focus onto a place that gave me the finest Roach fishing I have ever experienced.

RIP my good friend, we will miss you.

I managed to chat with Vic and Dave Howes a few years back at Dave Steuart's book launch at The Lands End pub in Twyford. A friend knew them being a "Roach Head" himself. Vic and also Dave Howes and Dave Steuart came across as very unassuming guys. My friend the lucky sod had a ticket for the Longford Estate, sadly they do not allow guest tickets on the fishery.

The Roach they caught were awe inspiring.

Myself and Dave Steuart, this being 2011.
