Indeed an incredible journey, SK! - was Yates the last person to catch a carp on the rod, or has it been used since?

The Walker 44 rod was used in APFA I think and CY caught one of the Redmire 24lbers with it.
So where is it now?

Chris Ball owns it, hence that's where I got to hold it.
It's with his marvelous collection of other Carp fishing paraphernalia in the famous "Carp Room"!!!

Perhaps potential for another group visit I can make some cakes, don't know how keen Mr Ball would be though? having a bus load of men squeezed into his fishing room may not be that appealing!

Hmmm, not sure how that would go down. But I guess there could only be a yes or a no.
Can't hurt to ask......

We would all be very polite and take our shoes off before entering the hallowed room.
