The Traditional Fisherman's Forum

Hello Everyone

I have picked up another book " WHERE TO FISH" 1934 with some wonderful early fishing advertisements. Please enjoy and peruse at your own leisure.


Notice some of the doodling on the first pages, there is some pencil marking inside the book underlining hotels near County Kerry. Ireland

Thank you for your time.

Tony

Very intersting , thanks for sharing.
I was drawn to the A. Carter &co advert because I have one of their Dingly made fly reels .
What amused me and prompted me to comment was the managing directors name ...... H Roach

Thank you Keston. I didn't notice that, was preparing another thread to post

All great adverts there Tony, there's some really good information in these old ads. Thanks for posting it.

Your very welcome Wal.

Interesting to see Homers advertising as makers of the News of The World prize rods. I have one of these that was presented to T H Goodwin for the capture of a 15lb carp in August 1934. It's a 10ft Sheffield style rod with two spliced top sections, one split cane the other greenheart.

Roach moved from the Army & Navy Store to Carters, a very interesting character who will feature in my next book The Dreadnought Casting Reel Company due out this year.

Excellent. Last year I made some quill floats with similar adverts inside the clear quills.

Your welcome to use these if you want. I could copy the advert in better resolution if you needed.

Nice to see Hinton's tackle shop advertised. It's the first one I ever visited but long since closed.
