LAST EVER EASY FISHING YOUTUBE VIDEO POSTED BY BILL ALLEN

Bill with his last ever Chub
It with great sadness that Bill Allen has posted his last ever Easy Fishing video on YouTube.
Bill was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in summer 2020 and unfortunately this progressed rapidly and he has deteriorated over the last few months, this has now required him to go into an hospice. His last video was on a small stream with Mick (his best buddy) helping to
catch his last ever fish, a Chub and doing it the simple way.
If you know Bill and watched his videos he just loved to fish Lakes, Rivers, Streams, Canals, Pools, well just about anything with fish in it. His videos are based on simple tactic methods, nothing complicated just ‘Easy Fishing’ and just wanted to share his experiences with everyone who wanted to watch.

He was not sponsored or affiliated with any brands he just loved his fishing and went out whenever he could with his video camera filming or if he couldn't get out on the bank, go though some basic setups at home.

With over 150 videos and thousands of subscribers on YouTube, his videos have become really popular and while filming if someone spoke to him while they were passing by he would reply back to them, even if he was trying to talk to the camera.
Message from his best buddy Mick on behalf of Bill from his youtube comments.

I’ve read each and every comment so far and love every one of them thank you all very touching and lovely comments. Bill or to me known as Alan or old git lol has been a father figure and dearest friend since I was 12 he’s always been there for me and I have had the pleasure of fishing with him and learning from him for almost 33 years.

​I apologise for the quality of video as it was on my phone but other than fish it was the only other thing, he wanted to do to say good bye to you all. He loves doing his videos and sharing his skills and all of the feedback whether negative or positive. Thank you all and a huge thank you to him for all he’s done for me and hopefully a lot of you. 1❤️ Alan always xxx

Black Country Fishing would just like to thank you Bill for all the time and effort that you’ve put into your videos over the years and will leave a legacy behind, you should be proud of.

Thank you Mick for giving him one last memory of doing the thing he loved. Take Care and Easy Fishing from everyone at Black Country Fishing.

After returning back to fishing I found myself at a loss and all I can say is thank God Bill was online to help. The videos are truly user friendly and it was because of Bill I purchased my first whip, now I have an 8 meter coming. It was because of Bill I learnt to tie a a maggot feeder easily onto a feeder rod. Bill's videos are above the norm, a delight to watch from a man who was all about actual fishing not taking for hours about technique. Thanks Bill.
