A little closer to home I've been working on a rod that came into WVFFM last October:
It has been the mos extraordinary month in so many ways. Some of you may be familiar with Classic Angling magazine - it was one of the titles featured in Book of the Month last year, and is the only magazine I know of to be dedicated to the subjects of vintage fishing tackle and angling history. The current issue included a plea for help from John Mullock, Founder and Chief Cook and bottle Washer at Mullock's Auctions who are the leading specialist auction house for Vintage Fishing Tackle. John needed help in cataloguing this years big Vintage Tackle sale on 22nd October. Well to cut a long story short, I spent a week staying with John and Mary helping out. Not only did it give me chance to spend some time with some genuinely good and interesting people, I had the chance to work with an exciting range of vintage, classic and desirable rods. You can see some of my handiwork when John publishes this year's sale catalogue. A little closer to home I've been working on a rod that came into WVFFM last October: I have my suspicions about the rod, it's origins and importance and hope to be able to share these ideas with you soon.
