Actually Andy I was talking about the lack of chatter about these
topics on the Wreck.
It seems a lack to me that this particular area of wooddorking is left
out of the conversation.
BTW - don't you Brits fish for minnows with ridiculously long poles
(make that 'rods', I'd not want you to be accused ofviolating the
tallish Polish for sport).

I remember 50 years ago salivating over a Heddon President. IIRC, it was
about $100 at the time, which was about two weeks net pay. Needless to
say, I didn't get one.

Perch, I believe, for those hugely long poles. You only need a fishing
licence for one county, but can fish the adjoing one too. I have a
carbon fibre tube multi-section one that I use as a flagpole.
Otherwise it's trout and salmon up in Scotland for huge amounts of
money. The well-heeled and even better-tweeded nobility hunting trout
with Purdeys, or somesuch.
Hey I caught a few of them bush asslicking faggot war whores, do I count
Mark & Juan as 1 or 2????

The Fine Woodworking collected volumes - probably "Woodshop
Specialities"
Otherwise I believe there are a scant handful of the relevant Victorian
books, and copies sell for more than a copy of Holtzapffel.
Somebody has to start the thread. Go ahead.
