Although I have heard of some of your choices, I am familiar with people like Gary la Fontaine, Lefty, Bob Clouser, many I have not, here is a list of Brits who have helped me become a better angler, can't say I've have fished or met them but their books and visual recordings have left their mark, G.E.M Skues, Frank Sawyer, Oliver Kite, Oliver Edwards, Charles Jardine, John Goddard, Bob Church, Dick Walker, Paul Slaney, Roman Moser (Austrian). Also no mention of Jim Teeney or Charles Ritz were'nt these American anglers of note?, tight lines.
