R.I.P Doug Clegg, moved on yesterday and sad to hear. A friend of his told me in my shop today and he's certainly done alot in his time. I've looked up to him from a very yound age and he's always been helpful to me.

Only met him once....
Only met cleggy once, was planning a trip to gnarloo, he told me to pop up to his shop and gave me heaps of good info and in turn I bought my bait and terminal tackle off him.
Would have loved to spend a day in rotto waters fishing for KG's with him....

I can also remember the hours spent in his tackle shop as a teenager just browsing, asking questions and getting rigs tied (free hooks and swivels). He always had time and advise for anyone.
Regards and Condolences to all his family and friends,
