Hi folks,
Does anyone remember when the tackle shop in Bakewell used to be called
"Piscatoria"?? It was run by Chris Lee & Pete Arfield and was one of the 1st shops in the U.K. Importing Winston rods & Abel reels amongst other good things. Does anyone know where Chris & Pete are now & what they're up to??

Ta!

Rudolf

Wasn't Chris a male nurse? Someone told me he went back into that business after Piscatoria. The shop was an agency for Kingsmill Rods when I was involved with them, sold quite a few for the company, I remember. Charlie Picton was there for a while, after Chris, I think. Then Charlie went off to Wales, imported some stuff like Hodgman waders and made rods under the brand name of Kudos, I think. Last I heard he was looking after some water on the Irfon and had a B&B down there near Builth Wells
