This summer has seen my camera by my side more often than not, here I was capturing Paul Cook at his workshop and on the Wensum with one of his hand built fly rods…

A few more floats.

After posting a shot of two rather nice old floats on the Traditional Fisherman’s Forum for the float builders to use as reference, I was most surprised to be contacted by master builder Paul Cook who has used the colours as a reference for some Avons.

Below are the original two floats that i posted on the TTF.

Vintage floats And here are Paul’s versions, amazing work as to be expected….

I was also given a sneak preview of something that Paul has been working on, the results are stunning but I’m afraid its all hush hush for now!
