One of my 'oppos

looks like paul Ross but carp fishing ?.

It's Dave Coster.

Rocco was too tight to buy that much line

I can remember buying some ignesti and FLY floats from his shop, Tottenham Angling Centre, (just over the road from the mighty spurs) as I used to take the pilgrimage up to the London shops by train,underground and bus about once a year when I was still at school, I then would get back on the bus and travel a bit further along the road to visit Arnolds as Ivan Marks used to work there.

Ah Fly floats, brilliant in certain models on our shallow cuts.

Can you still get them?

Yes Bill remember them well, one of the squatt whiz kids Simon Parsley used to use a Fly Ticino, original squatt float superseded by Richard Lattimers cult squatt float. Still use em today.

Still have some Fly floats; I'll have to start using 'em again.

Bought a job lot of 'em off E Bay for a fiver

Still have some Fly floats

Mine went for a walk

I remember getting battered by Dave C on winter league practice match at 3 Locks on the GUC ..... we all fished the long pole to the far shelf and caught roach and perch .... he fished the waggler and bagged up on skimmers!

Mention of Simon Parsley brings back some memories too ... I remember having a discussion about the merits of rods vs poles and Simon being of the opinion that he could fish any peg on the Upper Gt Ouse with his 16m pole as well as I could with a float rod ....... I still disagree with him!!!

I don't know Dave Coster, but I have got one of those Boss bait trays...

Fly serio were the best track floats ever, had to be the cane stems though.
