Ned Henderson

Ned was a  friend, collaborator and a competitor of  George Snaith, they were often seen

searching the hedgerows for suitable shanks. Ned’s favourite subjects for his sticks were

fish but he could also make a good plain stick. Unfortunately when he died his collection

of sticks was dispersed among  relatives and friends, however this year (2007) I was

approached by one of his descendents to join a head and shank together (described earlier)

and he brought me two sticks which  I photographed  and  am including them in the Gallery.

A Brown Trout taken by a Pike, the Pike is part

horn and part shank. It is possible to make out

the joint just opposite the fork in the Brown Trout’s tail.
