I get the impression that many anglers, especially the younger amongst us, have virtually little sense of the history of our great sport. For example I asked a young angler (about 20 yrs) the other day if he had ever heard of Isaak Walton? He hadn't.
When I was in my early teens I read all the books I could get on fishing, from Walton to Sheringham, fom Cotton to Halford, I read them all. After all angling has more history and great literature than any other sport on earth.
What do the younger anglers amongst us think? Do you have a sense of the history of our sport? Do you read the old books, or are you more comcerned with bagging up at all costs?
