Best wishes from Germany – Bernd

Dear Aaron,thank you very much for your words; you are absolutly correct: We should keep on holding up social interaction! In the past time, I bought some very nice vintage flyfishing – and carptackle from you. I dream about the times I had together a long time ago with my dad fishing for trout and grayling in our home river, when I look at this older tackle. What a great time we had both at the river banks! He passed away 12 years ago, but when I fish this tackle, he is still with me at the river. Now we have a very strong time here in germany, fighting against this virus. But I believe in all of us, that we will win. In every country all over the world! And then -I imagine a early, quiet summer morning when I cast again a small dry fly to an smoothly rising brown with that nice, old tackle- my dad will again be with me. Or a warm evening, waiting in the reed with my Hardy Richard Walker Carp II for a big mirror carp or one of the really big barbels. No more bad news about Corona Virus, just silence in the sundown. Thank’s a lot for your great service!For all of you out there: Tight Lines and keep on rocking! We will have good times at the water!

Stay healthy!! – Jerry

Your idea of creating a forum for those of us who are anglers and collectors is very thoughtful. Since discovering your website a couple of years ago, I have been a frequent customer. You have always treated me fairly and with respect. Now I feel a part of a community. As a resident of the USA, the last three plus years under the current presidential administration has been a bit insane. That coupled with the corona virus crisis/panic makes life here even crazier. I wish you, your family and everyone else reading this well! Stay healthy!!

Staying safe and connected

Dear Subscriber,

First of all, I’d like to extend my deepest sympathy to all those affected by the current situation unfolding as a result of COVID-19. I’m sure, like me you are concerned about those who are most vulnerable at this time. If you are isolated, unwell, caring for a family member or separated from a loved one, my thoughts are with you.

As history has taught us time and time again, moments like this can bring out the best in people and also present us with an opportunity to reflect and be thankful.

With this in mind we are creating a dedicated page that you can post anything you wish to share – maybe a recent fishing trip or perhaps a piece of tackle you love (it’s totally up to you). We believe that by continuing to share and talk about the things we love, it will help us all get through this time. Be sure to check it out on vintagefishingtackle.co.uk

If you’d also like to drop us a line or just have a chat about fishing and tackle (or anything of that matter) we will be here on the other end. It’s so important we keep socially active in some form, for both our mental and physical wellbeing.

Our website

At this moment in time we are business as usual and we are continuing to fulfil orders, answer questions and post deliveries. I wanted to update you all on how we will be operating in line with UK Government advice, the UK postal service and ongoing developments:

  • Deliveries on confirmed orders will continue but will be posted on two dedicated days (per working week)
  • Questions and requests will continue to be answered daily – please send through to [email protected]
  • Ongoing operations may change subject to Government advice and the UK postal service
  • As we mentioned above – please use our website or contact options if you want to get in touch.

Tight Lines,

Aaron Day – Owner
