The Art of War - er no - Worm Fishing by Alexander Mackie

I have made a purchase of a first addition c1912 of the Art of Worm Fishing by Alexander Mackie. It was worth a bid for £5 on ebay! Hopefully it will make interesting reading! I shall keep you informed. Amazon are selling reprinted paperbacks here: The Art of Worm-Fishing: A Practical Treatise on Clear-Water Worming [ 1912 ]

Possible poisoning at the canal basin?

I visited my wife at her photo studio yesterday at the Coventry canal basin warehouse and took a few minutes to look for signs of fish. Things were looking promising with shoals of roach easily passing the 1.5 pounds mark basking in the sunshine and grazing on the odd bit of bread crust from the moored canal boats.
