P a g e | 6 The angling world in general, and the barbel world in particular, will be saddened by the passing of an angler often known as "Mr Barbel", namely Fred Crouch. Much has been written, and much will be written, about Fred, and this is just a tribute of few words. He will be sadly missed by those close to him and by the angling world.
