Walker was also an innovative fly angler fishing chalk streams, small stillwaters and reservoirs. With the opening of Grafham Water in 1966 Walker concentrated his efforts in addressing the new problems faced at what was at that time the largest man-made stillwater in England. As a result, he was instrumental in the design of many reservoir fly patterns including Walker's Midge Pupa, the Chomper, Longhorns, Mayfly Nymph, Red Sedge, Dambuster, Polystickle, Mrs Palmer, and Sweeney Todd. In August 1969 he began a series of regular monthly articles in Trout & Salmon on new fly patterns entitled Modern Fly Dressings which were subsequently collated into Fly Dressing Innovations and Dick Walker's Modern Fly Dressings. His later years, which were marred by ill health, were spent fishing smaller stillwaters.

Walker's record held to 1980 when it was beaten by Chris Yates' 51 lb 8 oz fish
