As someone who had a pretty good shot (with a very near miss) at getting a British Angling Museum together with both trade and a big-money backer friend's help in the early 1980s (we pretty well invented Angling and gave it to the world, after all), I look at the American Museum of Fly Fishing - Fly Fishing History: The American Museum Of Fly Fishing | Manchester, Vermont - with nothing short of admiration and a rueful feeling that we warring Brits couldn't organize a decent drink in a brewery.
Here is the AMFF now crowdsourcing for funding for a new exhibit / collection, the History of Saltwater Fly Fishing - https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/saltwater-fly-fishing-online-exhibit.
Meanwhile, we war or worry over whether someone resprayed a Speedia or happened to have known or met a few people who would feature in a British Angling Museum if we had one.
Oh well.
Every success to you Yankee Boys. You are doing a fine job.
