A Trip Down memory lane ... Billy Lane ; the master .

I have been re reading Billy Lane's " Freshwater Fish - and how to catch 'em " . What a great book ! The Master was really on form with this one .

Jeff kindly gave me copy of BL 's " Encyclopaedia of Float Fishing " and this again really shows how advanced he was ; a real expert .

I was very interested in his tactics around the use of sliding floats . I will be copying his advice !

I always have a soft spot for " Uncle Bill" as he had a monthly letters page in a fishing magazine to which I was an avid reader . I wrote to him and he replied . As a 13 year old fishing mad kid that was really something .
