You won’t be disappointed... go for the early editions if you can find them, whilst Venables was still at the helm

Re: The Creel..
BV did the first 18 editions only and it shows. No 19 is very sad in comparison to the previous Bernie V magazines.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Re: The Creel..
I've got three bound volumes, which I think totals around 36 editions, then the odd 11 copies (in white soft folder) before the cessation of publishing, May 1967 edition. Fortunately they all have the re-order cards and freebee paperwork attached..
Over the years, numerous articles were published by some knowledgeable & authoritive writers, but as with a large percentage of bespoked fishing magazines, it limped on to long after its use by date....

Well done Michael, Volume 3 is a very rare bird.

Re: The Creel..
I also have heard of Creel but have never seen nor read a copy. Mr Willow and Tom are names new to me also, and loving Mr Crabtree strip format I am sure I would love it. Was there ever a book of Mr Willow and Toms ventures to the bank does anyone know? Thankyou Michael for this posting.

The strip cartoon was only published as long as Bernard Venables was at the magazine. I presume that the copyright etc, remained with the publisher/ magazine etc, who didn't follow through with a book?
I think Mr Cherry etc, followed on from his departure from the Creel, but more knowledgeable folk may know.
I seemed to recall being told, that Bernard Venables published material, that is his books/art therein, the copyright didn't always go hand in hand, so to speak...

Re: The Creel..
Thanks Michael, yes maybe someone will know if there was a book with Mr Willow in. I have a couple of the Cherry and Jim booklets called Lets go fishing, these were illustrated by BV which are lovely to look at.

Re: The Creel..
Maybe the publisher could be contacted, and a separate Mr Willow & Tom book suggested.Michael wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 10:11 amNot that I know Reedling.Reedling wrote: ↑Mon Apr 20, 2020 9:28 am I also have heard of Creel but have never seen nor read a copy.
