Mike Townsend RIP

[Nick Coulthurst]

Had a look at Bob Roberts’ Trent map and noticed a tribute to Mike Townsend who died recently aged only 48. Although I didn’t know him personally, I used to read his blog. He was a very good angler, especially when it came to roach, and came across as being very humble. Always admired his dedication to the pursuit of big roach - travelled all over the country. A sad loss.
