I'm talking about making bamboo rods and wooden lures.

Steam bent frames for nets. Making wooden paddles.

Wooden Priests.

That sorta thing.


I don't recall seeing much about this around here.

The Fine Woodworking collected volumes - probably "Woodshop
Specialities"

Otherwise I believe there are a scant handful of the relevant Victorian
books, and copies sell for more than a copy of Holtzapffel.

Actually Andy I was talking about the lack of chatter about these
topics on the Wreck.

It seems a lack to me that this particular area of wooddorking is left
out of the conversation.

BTW - don't you Brits fish for minnows with ridiculously long poles
(make that 'rods', I'd not want you to be accused ofviolating the
tallish Polish for sport).

I have a split bambo rod that I bought when the hardware store in our
town went outta biz this would be about 50 years ago. I paid a buck yes
$1.00 for it, infact he had 2 of them and I bought both but one went to
the wayside someplace thru life.

Somebody has to start the thread. Go ahead.

I remember 50 years ago salivating over a Heddon President. IIRC, it was
about $100 at the time, which was about two weeks net pay. Needless to
say, I didn't get one.

And where were you hatched? You apparently had no actual parents.

Perch, I believe, for those hugely long poles. You only need a fishing
licence for one county, but can fish the adjoing one too. I have a
carbon fibre tube multi-section one that I use as a flagpole.

Otherwise it's trout and salmon up in Scotland for huge amounts of
money. The well-heeled and even better-tweeded nobility hunting trout
with Purdeys, or somesuch.
