I have most of these as photos but they are not very good and enhancement is quite involved.  I am hoping to get some new photographs in the near future, they are of course of historical interest.

Is it not one of the loveliest book titles in fishing ? :D :D :D :D

W.H. Aldam  - - A Quaint Treatise on "Flees and the Art of Artyfichall Flee Making"

You cannot read that without a little smile and a hankering for simple times. Nowt wrong with calling your flees flees either.  :D :D
