Jason Lewis from the Royalty Fishery has a unique and incredible collection of antique fishing tackle and this week he shows us his antique fly hoard dating back to the 18th centaury. Including salmon and trout flies designed by Baden-Powell called the prismatic fly made with fine strands of dyed gut.
He also shows us inside his vintage Hardy fly boxes and explains why there was an empty box marked reservoir flies.
