Tight lines for the new season to all our visitors!
March was a busy month here at WVFFM, - starting with the Scottish Fly Fair at the beginning of the month. We attended the first of these events last year, and again the show was held at the Stirling Court Hotel on the campus of the University of Stirling. Last year we showed timelines of both rods and reels, this year we included many of the same rods shown last year, but also some of the material from the story of the Ogden rod acquired last year. The entire saga can be read here, along with the subsequent tale of Ogden and Scotford and the early years of Ogden Smiths Ltd. The James Ogden rod alongside a later marked Ogden rod that we now know to have been made by his nephew. We hope to be able to add to this story in the coming months and, as usual, anything important will appear here on the News page.
Tight lines for the new season to all our visitors!
