Tight Lines

1968

This catalog, as usual,  was issued to the English speaking world of ABU fans and even Australians like me, received it and were able to read it with great joy.

It is special to me, as it was still around the time of my first experiences with ABU fishing and the huge range of items produced that I could never hope to see here in Australia at this time.

Len's  promotion of ABU's new Scottish Fishing School in Aviemore is continuing to be promoted  in this year's catalog after its debut last year. Never did I realise that in just 18 years I would visit here!

It also is great addition to the issues to date , as it has such  stories as last year's Dream Trip to Greenland, The Unexpected Catch, the usual proud ABu fishers from around the world, Kevin Ashurst match-winning 505, River Fishing Skills, the all new and innovative ABU Delta 5 Fly reel and much more.......

I hope you have enjoyed the long time that I spent scanning and coding this page,  perusing and learning from this wonderful English language version of the  1968  ABU Tight Lines. Reading this again makes me realize how quickly 50 + years of my life has passed from these childhood days. Lots of extras have been added to my life in this time, but the only constant has been family, friends, learning in one form or another  and the immeasurable  fishing pleasures given to me , thanks to the Borgstom family and  ABU fishing.
