Is the surname a co-incidence??

I can't make out the pictures very well and they don't enlarge with postimage, but they would with Tinypic, though you haver to copy and paste the new address in.

I've got this from an Efgeeco catalogue:

Nobby, I am lucky to own a John Goddard nymph shown in the Efgeeco catalogue ( see my journal here for some photos ) made by Cliff Constable.

I now own two Cliff Constavle fly rods and am tempted to buy a third.Wonderful rods.

First post pictures upload.

I had to convert these from .pdf to jpeg. Right click on the pictures and select open link and you should then be able to zoom in and read them easily.

Thanks once again for the work you put in on our behalf Mark, Sir ... and thanks to John for making this resource available to us.

Well done, Mark...much easier to read now...thank-you.


Somewhere on the Agutter-Norman site is a note about your Uncle, John. Calling him the best rod maker in the UK.I'll see if I can find it again.

Ah, it has been altered since I last saw it, it's a bit rambling now, but there are a few mentions of Cliff in the archives.
