Did You Know? - Number Five

Did You Know -That Les Williams aka “Chub Head” Farther Mike was also a well know top Bristol Avon Match Men. Mike Fished for Fry’s AA and was particularly good at catching Dace and Roach. The press cutting below shows Mike Williams with one of his winning catching from the Bristol Avon at Limpley Stoke fished on Sunday 25 July 1970.


Did you know - How Les got his nick name "Chub Head"? Well it was given to him by the late Ron Gaulton after one of the ATSWWL's when Ron was fishing for Team NOVA (AVON backwards). Why "Chub Head" you will have to either wait to you meet up with Ron again or ask Les himself, in the meantime it's my secret.
