The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Gentlemen, on this day in 1918 a young man was born, his name, Richard Walker.

I think a toast is called for this evening gentlemen.

Here are two lovely pictures of the man himself in his later years, courtesy of Mike Wilson, thank you Mike.

Here's to Water Rail

A glass will be soon lifted in his honor.

Save a few for us up there, sir.

I'll raise a glass tonight in memory of "The Carp Godfather".

It shall be done, Sir !!!

I shall sit and read about clarrisa's capture again and raise a glass.

I think he was more than that. I can't think of anybody who advanced our sport more that Water rail.

I will raise a glass in honour.

And I was going to have a dry night
