nostalgia...

[OldBoy]

I sometimes look on this web site, normally a bit banal about how to.... etc

But found this small insight into possibly one of the best angling series ever broadcast:

I'm really interested in the history of carp angling and angling in general ..

 

One of the best books I have read regarding nostalgia is by Mike Winter ,who is Skeffs / Mark Walsinghams mentor, the book is called Along Fisherman's paths ,it's all about his ( mikes ) angling journey, and the beginning of the Devon Carp Catchers club ,and the Golden scale club..its one of my favourite books now,especially as I've fished some of these old pools ..

Along Fisherman's Paths is a nice read. Sadly, Mike Winter passed away some years back. He was one of the original winter carp fishing pioneers.

Gerry Savage ,also a noted winter pioneer ,his famous Carp in the snow pic ,and 100 doubles in a season on PYM,also a follower of the early HNV theory ,Fred Wilton etc. 

 

( I fished a couple of times with Gerry ,he passed on the LP...B ,philosophy which I still use to this day )
