The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

On this day 330 years ago Izaak Walton departed from this very earth.

A toast tonight is called for gentlemen.

indeed port all round

On my way!

A 'Chichester' will be raised this evening.

(That's what we refer to as 'a small port' in the AC household)

May he rest in peace.

And another snippet about I.W. for those in the South-East. Izaak Walton was married to Rachel Floud at St Mildred's Church, Canterbury, on the 27th December 1626.

The church backs on to the River Stour, which Walton certainly knew - he refers to the large Forditch [Fordwich] trout to be found therein - now thought to be sea-trout.

Here here!! Will charge a glass or two later!!!

Too Old Izaak

I will be raising a glass.
