John Wilson (born 1943) the jolly fisherman who has put more fun into fishing than Rex Hunt and probably kissed more fish, is a legendary British angler who has been making television angling programmes for the last 20 years featuring on channel 4 Television and more recently on the digital TV channel, Discovery Real Time(Shed). Wilson was voted 'The Greatest Angler of all Time' in a 2004 poll by readers of the Angling Times Newspaper a testament to his popularity.
Wilson was born in Enfield, London where he fished on the River Lee. He had careers in hairdressing, the Merchant Navy and printing before opening his own fishing tackle shop based in Norwich in 1971. John now lives at Great Witchingham, Norfolk,where he fishes on his local River Wensum and owns his own lake complex.If ever a knighthood was merited for services to fishing this man would have merited one decades ago.Check out Sixty Years A Fisherman the long awaited and updated new edition of much-loved angler John Wilson's memoirs, an icon of the angling world! John reveals the real life story behind the camera lens of a man who was once a cruiseship hairstylist and who later became one of the most recognised TV personalities to have come into the world of angling.
