Salmon Fishing Scotland Tales from the Salmon King.

Salmon Fishing Scotland Tales from the Salmon King.

This is a small poem by Alistair Sheach as a tribute to Colin Leslie.
His 50 years are in the past,
such wonderful memories are sure to last,
the names of Moore, Rockerfeller and Wragg
whose exploits appeared in the fishing mags,
their names live on as angling legends
and the name of Leslie was the man who helped them.
The gentleman's gentleman always giving attention,
having a dram or two for purely medication,
Colin Leslie every anglers inspiration.

As poetry is doesn't scan, but a nice tribute to a larger than life character.

Has he died?

As poetry is
What sort of English/ Scottish is that?
Does not scan.
Maybe in iambic pentameter?
I would bet your fly casting would fall short of the mark compared to that of Mr. Sheach.
Own goal!

Maybe best to keep pulling teeth.
