Re: my new Crabtree style net
Mine has also arrived ! Delightful. Beautifully sewn into the frame and ash and bamboo hoop too ! Many thanks Barney. Matched with a two piece bamboo handle. Couple it with a kit rod, Mitchell, a rucksack and a few bits and pieces such as some stunningly crafted floats, unbelievable Bishop ferrule stoppers and I should just give up this work thing and spend my days fishing and writing a book and illustrating it with some line drawings..........hang on a minute.....that's already been done !
