Name a water in the Fens and the chances are he's fished it - and probably added to his lengthy tally of 20lbs plus pike while he was at it.
Denis is someone who has inspired many of the current crop of Fenland pike anglers with his unassuming approach.
He recently co-authored the acclaimed Fenland Pike with Mark Barrett - probably the definitive book on pike fishing the rivers and drains which lie between King's Lynn and Cambridge.
Denis is a bait angler who likes to keep on the move, favouring the leap-frogging style of mobile fishing. We'll catch up with him for a few more details at the Convention, but it's definitely one for the diary whether you're a seasoned hand or new to pike fishing.
Denis will be joining us at the William Burt Club, at West Winch, on Wednesday, October 26 (7.30pm).
We'll also be there to tell you about a few more talks and activities planned for the forthcoming winter.
Neville Fickling will be our speaker on Wednesday, November 30.
King's Lynn born and bred, Neville began his fishing career in short trousers on the banks of the Relief Channel, and went on to become one of the most successful pike anglers of all time, catching a record fish from the Thurne along the way.
He's as prolific when it comes to writing about pike as he is at catching them, with countless books and articles to his name. Nowadays he runs a tackle shop and bait business, as well as editing Pike & Predators magazine - but still finds time to fish all over the British Isles.
This promises to be another superb evening's entertainment.
We're lining up more speakers for later in the year and beyond. Until then, there are several ways you can keep in touch. Bookmark this blog and check back from time to time, subscribe by e-mail or follow @kingslynnpac on Twitter.
