I thought some members might be interested in this. Just scanning some old slides; my notes say that I am holding the rod that Richard Walker built for Maurice Ingham, the net that landed Clarissa, that the rack holds Richard Walker built rods for Maurice Ingham, Gerry Berth-Jones and Bernard Venables. And finally, that this was Bernard Venables' typewriter.

Absolutely superb Phil, what a marvellous array of historic angling heritage. Thankyou for posting.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

What strikes me is the enormous distance between the rings of the MI rod that you are holding.
