Vintage Chum - Fly Fishing Circa 1955

Some vintage tweed to go with your morning coffee.

But I'm not here to have my corset ripped off

In 1987 the idea for a global brand came to Ted whilst fishing

To celebrate the launch of his new Tight Lines collection, fashionista Ted Baker is offering one lucky winner and a friend a once in a life time opportunity to join him on a fishing trip at his favourite haunt, the River Test in Hampshire.

Unfortunately this competition is only open to UK & Eire residents; however Ted’s friends across the pond in the USA are also in with the chance of winning their very own luxury fishing trip prize!

One lucky entrant and a friend will win the chance to spend a half days fly fishing on either San Francisco Bay or the Hudson River. The winners will be treated to two nights and dinner in a 4* hotel, return travel within the US & Canada and $150 spending money.

Neoprene is so Neanderthal

Bring some proper tweed baggyness to that next tailgate session.

Fucking With Snobby Bastards

Bruce McGee takes on elitist fly fishing buggers.

I can just picture two distinguished gentleman sitting around a fine home somewhere. Nigel and Ian would be there names and I can just hear Nigel saying you feel that Ian? Feel what my good man? Ian replied I sense a disturbance in the force like some grubby nutter is fondling a poor unsuspecting fly rod. That conversation probably took place the day I decided to start fly fishing. Because while I respect its tradition and honor it’s past, I have no issue with making it something uniquely mine. That means screaming a giant fuck you at yuppie buggers who seem to think that the sport is still only for the elite of this world. That you must be of a certain class to dare cast a finely made fly rod. While that sentiment isn’t common among all fly fishermen, it’s present in enough of them to piss me off. So being me I make it my mission to fuck with people like that.
