Geoff Salisbury made his name fishing against those famous anglers,...
(I've got Benny Ashursts book)..I'm fascinated by the old ways and how angling has progressed ..
Shame about Exeter Angling ,brings back a lot of memories, especially as it really was my local shop,but 60 mile away,nothing like it here back in the better times...

Please don't use Influencer as term for someone you obviously respected
Perhaps , the brains behind Or test pilot ? Seems more fitting for the era
Influencers are just internet human clothes horses

Sad times !
I purchased a set of 3 Normark rods that were endorsed by Richie MacDonald back in the day for my first adventures on a big syndicate lake ( All 47 Acres of it which, was the biggest I had tackled at the time ), Chard Ressy.
It was a fantastic shop and the people had a wealth of knowledge and were very helpful.
I always popped in if I was in the City.

Ask the kids / grandkids what ? Who ? Are deemed influencers today
Then you will understand my reticence in its use for someone you so obviously held in such high esteem
For their highly creative input in the development of the product
I know your love of all things traditional So I expect you may well be surprised at what Influencers are today
Tight lines if you re out on the bank any time soon

We got terrific support from EAC (Hiram in particular) when the missus and I ran the D&C Region of the Carp Society. It's a crying shame to hear that they are closing down.

I went there today thinking I will take a few pics of
the what was a great shop, no, it was closed, the best
I could do is below, it may not look that bad but if you
would have seen it when it was in full swing you would
know that this is just empty.
The end of an era.
