I long for that time again. I'm sad just remembering it.

What a great man Oliver Kite was. A supremely talented countryman who spoke in such a charming manner. Taken far too soon RIP.

A prime example of one of the 'Last great generation' of the British.

I visited Oliver's final resting place today. Sadly the grave is not in great shape, but after 55 years I suppose it's to be expected. Oliver Kite came across as a very polite and kind gentleman. He was taken far too soon!

& no damned modern intrusive music. Such a joy to watch this gentleman & to hear his knowledge.

Great chap. I am now 78 spent all spare time fly fishing. Even when stationed in Germany. In Germany at the time they didn't have a clue on how to fish the fly . I spent many an hour showing and helping them how to do it including dressing. I even took keen fisherman to England and Wales to try and catch a sea trout, or salmon. A year later I went to renew my membership of the fishing club, and they refused. They said that I had to first pass a fishing examination. You can guess what my answer was. A week later I had a visit from one of the club members asking me if he could come with me to England sea trout fishing. I explained that I no longer take people from the club with me and why. I was absolutely amazed to receive the next day a certificate saying that I had passed the Fishing test. The guy who wanted to come with me to Wales managed to catch a 16 pound salmon on a thunder and lightning.

England that was. Never to return unfortunately. Courtesy of the lunatic political class that have ruled since Oliver's demise.

As good with words as he was with the fly rod. A delightful man who delivered his naturalists knowledge in such an easy way.

Wow, this is a gem, for absolute decades from the age of 15 when I discovered his work on nymph fishing, I would often joke to my companions, and still do, when pulling in a bare hook, "I am using the Major Oliver Kite method" (in case you are unaware, he fished a bare hook as a nymph). Great to see him fishing the Teifi too.

A pity though that his small stone only says “ Fly Fisherman”. No mention of family loss or sentiments of that kind.
