Izaac Walton Museum

(1/1)

Terry Coging:
The refurbished museum opened on Sunday here in Staffordshire.
Some fascinating stuff in there and it made me think - if we took modern technology and materials out of the equation, then not much has changed in the last 400 years.
Even then, in the mid 17th C, old Izaac and his mate Charles Cotton were using fly patterns known as the 'Dames Dozen' that were established almost 150 years before.
So, I'm looking for an 18' Hazel rod with a tapered whalebone tip and a spliced horsehair line.  *smiley-grin*

Mike Barrio:
The museum  sounds interesting Terry.

Good luck with your hazel wand quest  *smiley-grin*
