I don’t have an FAC but reckon I could take a few out. They are very quiet though.
I still remember catching my very first Barbel as clearly as if it were yesterday and that was 45 years ago.I find that when looking at old photos of fish and places I have fished over the years I still have a clear memory of the day. Even if some are now 60 years ago.
Just picked this up for 3 quid, "The World of Angling" 1969. Contributors:- Derek Fletcher, John Goddard, Billy Lane, Peter Wheat, Winston Hall, Jack Hilton, John Ingram, Bill Keal, John Neville, John Piper, Peter Tombleson, Gwyn Williams, Tome Williams, Collin Wilcock.
All black and white photographs, bit of a snapshot of the past, funny how simple the rigs and baits etc were back then. I only recognized about three of the names but everything covered, fly, sea and coarse from barbel to pier fishing..
That's one of the old books I have in a pile waiting to go to the charity shop.
Those old black and white pics and the tackle bring back memories, The record list at the back makes interesting reading, the weights have certainly move on.
The other books I am getting rid of include 2nd and 3rd angling times year books from the early 60's. Similar sort of reading.
