He was definitely a character. Created an amazing complex. I was never sold on his wine though

Apparently so.. the story from what I understand is that the Messenger twins from Essex took the method they used at layer pits in essex. Down to Zygs place and used to great effect. Hence the Zyg rig.. others might remember it differently..

Pioneer of Holiday fishing. Well ahead of his time. Though I never made the pilgrimage. If you needed your fishing fix during the old close season. You headed down to Devon, Cornwall ( no close season ) And Anglers paradise was the venue of choice.

Rest Easy Zyg..
