Other news
For those who read this column regularly, you may remember the Ogden/Ogden & Scotford/Ogden Smith pages I put up a few weeks ago. Turns out I wasn't the first to uncover the story. Andrew Herd and John Austin actually wrote about it in Waterlog magazine a few years ago. Andrew writes for Medlar Press and is the author of a number of helpful books on the history of fishing including the History of Fly Fishing featured in the Books section of this web site. He is also responsible for the Fishing Museum Online.
WVFFM has also made a few acquisitions in the last month, notably rods by Garden of Aberdeen and a Milward spinning rod. Most interesting was an 11' two-piece for Scottish style Loch fishing. These will appear on the web site in due time.
More on the developments soon.
