thanks i think so .very limited infoi cant find any thing i would love to see them, when i went to redmire i was so choked up with that strange atmospherethat redmirehas, that i just needed to find all these old famous haunts .
I believe Woldale lake is somewhere in Lincolnshire, perhaps near Louth. There's a photo of it in the second edition of Richard Walker's "Stillwater Angling".
If Wood Pool is Beechmere then it still exists, as I remember reading an article byan angler who fished it about 10 years ago. He mentioned its connection with BB's "Confessions of a carp fisher". I understand it's in Devon.

Woldale ? I thought he was just a bloke who posted on here a bit.... got a whole Dale named after him ???? Blimey.
More seriously, which BB books, what's the titles ? I have read some over the years but would like toread some more. Plus also anyone with any books by G. P. R. Balfour Kinnear - dying to read Torridge Fishery if I can ever lay my hands.

'The Little Grey Men....' God I read and re-read that book when I was five or six, over and over. And 'Down the Bright Stream'.
Looking back those books may well be what sparked my fascination with water, rivers and fishing (ina family with nary a fisherman ever before).

Woldale Lake (Benniworth Haven)is still there to be seen.
I visited it early in the season hoping to get a view of an angler, but to no avail.
I tried the Casterline Louth, to see if Peter knew who owned it, he wasn't certain, but thought Rod Hutchinson had some involvement in it.
It's big old estate lake,stream fed and set in woodland, it doesn't look very deep, and is quite weeded,there were no signs of fish, and come to that none of water fowl either!

I understand that the big Woldale fish fell back in size quickly after the capture of Ingram's famous seventeen, and that fish lice were a problem - but a stock of smaller, mainly commons still existed into the Seventies at least- I wonder how large they are now, if they are still there? Sends a shiver down me spine it does...! Woldale is pure history and it's always fine to breathe the atmosphere of pure carping history. I'd absolutely love to fish it...
