R.I.P Guru!

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 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....

RIP "Oh Great KG Guru"
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,
David
