The White House "Fish Room"

The windowless Roosevelt Room serves as a daily meeting room room for White House staff and room for multimedia presentations. Situated across from the Oval Office, it often serves as a staging area for delegations preparing to meet the president. Franklin Roosevelt called this room the Fish Room, where he displayed an aquarium and fishing mementos.

John Kennedy continued the room's fish theme by mounting a sailfish he caught in Acapulco in 1953.

Kennedy briefs the press on Cuba from the Fish Room in 1962.

E.A. Barton - The Ansel Adams of Chalk Streams

E.A. Barton's work includes some of the most memorable pictures ever taken of British angling; and the angler featured in his photographs is very often Barton himself, because he preferred to use a tripod and clockwork shutter release. He has been called the "Ansel Adams of the chalk streams" and with good reason, because many of his photographs are quite simply outstanding and as a collection they form a valuable record of one of the most interesting periods in the history of anlging.
