Tributes have poured in from all corners of the angling community for Zyg Gregorek, founder of Anglers Paradise Fishery, who passed away earlier this month.
One of the sport’s great characters, he was known for his wicked sense of humour and eccentric nature – not to mention his homemade wine – and left a mark on all those who met him.
He founded the Devon complex in 1985 and turned it into one of nation’s premier fisheries over the next 40 years. Today, it has over 30 lakes, stocked with some weird and wonderful species – which are a true reflection of Zyg’s colourful character!
His daughter Zenia and her family will continue to run the fishery, as they revealed in a social media post that received over 1,000 heartfelt comments in memory of Zyg:
“We will continue his legacy and do him proud. There will only ever be one Zyg. He lived his life to the full, and his glass was always full!”
