Recieved some bad news today from a mutual friend of Duggy aka Paul Couling that he has saddly passed away after a long illness. Duggy was one of a great bunch of anglers that I met when I began fishing Redesmere in the early 90s and have nothing but fond memories of him. Just want to let people know who have known him over the years who will know what a nice bloke he was.

Very sad news. I had the pleasure of fishing on the Meadow at Redesmere with Duggy a couple of times, and I always enjoyed his company...

Sincere condolences to all his family and friends....

terrible news,he sure was a top bloke martin.i`ll be there on tuesday you going mate?

Had a lot of laughs with Duggy.
Even when he must have felt terrible he'd come over for a brew and within seconds we'd both be cracking up about something.

He loved a good laugh and he loved his fishing.

Everyone will miss Big Dug.

A terribly sad day, a good friend for over 20 years. If anyone wants the funeral details please PM me,

Chris Brodie.

A better friend, i could not imagine.
Take it easy big guy, you will be sadly missed.

I was horrified when I heard the news that duggy had passed away. One of the nicest guys in the angling world that I have ever met. Regularly he would call in at my place and we would have a right old laugh. It wasnt that long since I last spoke to duggy and knew he was quite ill again and I'm absolutely gutted he has now gone.
My thoughts go to all his friends and family.

The next time I put one on the bank I will look up to the stars and give you a wink old friend.
