Horse tail hair in one post I read was woven into fishing line and rope
long before hair weaving and knotting became a Victorian Art style.
I have one of these things with a gold plated watch fob fitting on
either end.

Unless it expands to that if requested by the users.  It will start as a NEWSLETTER format.  I make changes, I let folks know.  I doubt there will be very many emails over the course of the year, but I think those interested should have a way of knowing.

A good bibliography is: http://www.farreaches.org/fishing/resources.html

There are extensive bibiographical postings (mostly by Mistress Gunnora)
in the Norsefolk at yahoogroups.com archive from Wed, 18 Oct 2000

There have been three period books put out on Fishing the last
few years. I have two of them myself although I don't know
exactly where they are at the moment and I don't believe they are
in my main computer bibliography. Check the sca-fishing list or
webpages.
I think one is: "The Fishers' Craft & Lettered Art: Tracts on Fishing
from the End of the Middle Ages" (ed. Richard C. Hoffmann, University
of Toronto Press, 1997).

I know I have Isaac Walton's Compleat Angler. Maybe two of them.
I may have a third book on period fishing somewhere.

I think I bought mine from http://www.hamiltonbooks.com/
FISHERS' CRAFT AND LETTERED ART: Tracts on Fishing from the End of
the Middle Ages. By Richard C. Hoffmann.  Hardbound Import. Our Price
$16.95

By searching http://www.bookfinder.com/ two years ago I came up with
several under Medieval Fishing for my obsessed painter. When I bought
a couple for him I duplicated them for myself. Try More Options and
put the words in under Keywords.
