• HAYDN BORTHWICK

   

  Recieved the sad news today that Haydn Borthwick had passed peacefully away
   after losing his battle with cancer.
  

  

  I’m going fishing said he with a faraway look in his eyes
  He was already at the lake, with the gentle splash of the water
  Lapping against the reeds.
  
  I’ll get a fish for you he said, I may even catch a carp
  And then I can really talk and tell a fantastic tale.
  But I had a look And I could see it just wasn’t meant to be.
  He was asleep in a world of his own. It was only a dream.

   Haydn was always a character on the Maggotdrowning.com fish-ins and Maggotdrowning matches. A true pleasure angler he staunchly stuck to  his rods and reels while all around him used poles. He was just happy to cast a float out and catch a fish whilst everyone else was still pratting about with their poles and a mountain of gear, as he put it.

  He’ll be sorely missed by those that had the pleasure to meet and fish with him 

  Rest in Peace Fella.
