Continuing the Isaac Walton and Charles Cotton theme I've been out researching Winchester centre from the perspective of the River Itchen and Isaac Walton's tomb.
You might be surprised to learn that by courtesy of Winchester City Council all gentle brothers of the angle are allowed to fish Winchester's hallowed Itchen:
Winchester Cathedral is home to the tomb of our most venerable brother:
Here resteth the Body of
Mr. ISAAC WALTON
Who dyed the 15th day of December
1683
Alas he's gone before
Gone to return no more!
Our panting Breasts aspire
After their aged Sire,
Whose well spent life did last,
Full ninety years and past
But now he hath begun
That which will ne're be done
Crown'd with eternall blysse:
We wish our souls with his.
Votis modestis sic flerunt liberi

Do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions, comments or would like to purchase from the collection.
I can always source fine items such as Hardy Palakona rods like the Hardy Marvel, Hardy Fairchild and of course the CC de France.
Each would be in mint condition. Hardy Perfect reels and Hardy Uniquas are a speciality
I hope you find the site interesting, please let me know if you would like to see anything else covered here.
Like me I guess many of you enjoy expedition fishing trips too for carp, pike or barbel.
If so you will know the importance of keeping dry and warm,
fishing bivvies being the answer to this requirement.
