Title: Rod and Line Magazine
Post by: Sean Freeman on March 16, 2019, 04:53:58 PM
Hi lads,

I'm looking for a rod and line magazine, number 16 from 1976. If anyone has one I don't specifically want to buy it (although I would) I would just like some information from it.

Cheers,

Sean

I got all the issues but sadly only to 1964. was it still being printed in 1976 I thought it was defunct way before then. As a matter of interest what were you looking for?

I think it ran until 1981 from what I've read but the editor changed a few times. The exact issue I'm after is the 1976 Vol 16 issue 2 (February). There's one particular article in it about a species of trout I'm interested in. I'll just have to wait it out for one to appear on eBay, or a full collection.

If this was a British publication a copy of every issue will probably have been lodged with the National Libraries for which there has been a deposit copy requirement that dates back centuries. Searching on line for a now digitised copy might strike lucky

I found a 1976 issue but unfortunately it is March.

Snap Sandy! I found that one as well.
British National Library should hold a copy, but you are going to have to ask them to retrieve it (at a cost) and travel to London to view it in person.
It is possible that the answer to you query is available elsewhere on t'internet.
Ask away.

I'll see if I can find anything at the national library, a perk of my job is free rail travel! :D
I also found the one from March 1976, one month out! The answer to my query is definitely out there but the people who know rightly keep quiet. There is just a slim chance that the issue contains something about a species I'm interested in finding, the issue could prove useful or not at all. I've spent many hours researching and spent a decent amount on books looking for them. Lads have put up reports on the members forum here but not on this public section. Most of you will have no doubt read the reports.

Go to Edinburgh. The NLS is a national depository.

A friend of mine is going up that way soon and he said he may be able to call in, if not I registered and can get the train up on one of my days off. It sounds like they have the entire collection so thank you to the lads who suggested it.

Cheers,

Sean

If getting a copy from Edinburgh doesn't work out for any reason, the British Library is only 5 minutes walk from Euston station.

I messaged the seller of that one, his is September and he told me the one I'm after is February. He had and sold the one I want but keeps a record of the magazine and it's contents but not the specific articles within them.
