Tribute to Stephen Webster
Aug 11, 2011
Stephen (Shep) Webster
A talented musician, exceptional fisherman, enthusiastic entomologist, environmentalist and family man will be greatly missed. Stephen was the most knowledgeable and skillful fisherman I have ever met. You knew a day on the river with him would enrich your life. You would not leave the river until the last light of day had faded, Stephen always knew this would be the time when the fishing was at its best.
Stephen was a doer, no sitting down talking about what needed to be done he was always for getting on with it. Stephen was a driving force behind the River Chess Association and was instrumental in establishing the riverfly monitoring programme. He was a supporter of the Wild Trout Trust including the annual auction and a member of more fishing clubs than there were days to fish.
In recent years through the River Chess Association he was passing on his knowledge of rivers to the next generation of enthusiasts. He lost his life to a tragic accident on Sunday, our sympathy goes out to Sheila his wife and their four children.
