Izaak Walton in his parlour

Here's an image of the author of the original Compleat Angler sat in the parlour of his farmhouse near Stafford, England. The farmhouse is now the Izaak Walton Museum.

I'm just developing my blogging skills and will expand this spot to include all things angling including my own very persoanl ideas about the sport.

This weekend, I'm travelling to the Izaak Walton Hotel in Dovedale and staying for two nights to enjoy bicycling on the Tissington Trail with my son and a walk up the fabulous Dovedale taking in the old fishing house first erected by Charles Cotton, the co-author of the fifth edition of the Complaet Angler.

The IW Hotel sells IW bitter ale! Have some of that!

Alle Brave!
