If anyone could kindly advise if they are aware of any notebooks (even handwritten) letters, or river specific books relating to Engand and Wales I'd be very interested?

Such as Threlfalls Vrynwy one which I have just ordered.

Try:

Fishing in Eden William Nelson 1922 now re-printed

Fishing Fantasy J.Hughes-Parry 1949 aka A Salmon Fisherman's Notebook.

"A Snowdon Stream (the Gwyrfai) and how to fish it," by W H Canaway.

Part of the Fisherman's Choice series, published by Putnam, 1958.

all time river specific classics

H A Gilbert's 'Tale of a Wye Fisherman'.

Chaytor's 'Letters to a Salmon Fisher's Sons' - about the Tyne.

Bernard Aldrich's 'The Ever Rolling Stream' is his autobiography but all about the Test at Broadlands where he was keeper.
