Browsing a fly fishing thread a little while ago I noticed that they have a section for "Classic Coarse Fishing".
This of course means cane or greenheart rods, ancient wooden starback centre pin reels, quill floats and even baits such as bullock's brains and pith, not forgetting the greaves or scratchings and thousands of lobs for the barbel.
And let us not forget the dress -Norfolk jackets, breeks, deerstalkers and even straw boaters when you are out after gudgeon. Why we could even even have a Waltonian section where we use horsehair and dress up in 17th century costume. All this would suit Peter Jacobs of course, I can see him now in tunic and large tapering hat with his long willow cut from the hedgerow, andregaling the milkmaids.
The Monk wouldn't have to organise any special clothes as he has them already, his habit of course.
And what a sight it would be with a couple of his Ruffe Slappers dressed in milking smocks or lambing gowns!!
If other websites have made classic angling successful, what about this one?
