    A long time since

    A BFW Fish-In, if memory serves me right, the last one was organised by Graham Elliott, However, due to adverse weather conditions, ( extreme heat and low water, clubs suspending fishing etc ) it sadly got cancelled. Any members willing to take up the mantel for the new season ?

Original cloth bag ,minus the bag ties, is extremely light, and weighs next to nothing. One of the eyes looks like it has had...
