Not sure exactly when this was taken....early 70s maybe....but with the green glass rod I think from Woollies.
Ford Farm in Leominster, Herefordshire...went in a holiday there. Typical....wearing wellies in mid summer and feeding the minnows I caught to the cats ?

I bought a Carp rod ( no really) from Woolies, I think it was branded Craddock but I could be wrong.

Ah good old Woolworths and their Winfield brand fishing tackle. Can’t understand how they went bust as I spent all my pocket money and earnings from my paper round on their fishing gear. ?

I was often in their local store buying records! I used to put them down on my self-employed tax returns as pens & stationery! ??

Brilliant just brilliant! We all started out somewhere eh. I started out in my local burn with a bamboo cane a bit of mono and a bent pin. Progressed to a bamboo cane and a bit of mono and a hook! Great fun caught trout and scoffed them on a wee wood fire... bet there are houses on that bit of land now. We also used to go guddling for the trout in that burn used to get quite a few then they would be on the fire for scoffing
