Next month I will be London, Paris and Dublin with extra time on my hands. Do you know of interesting sporting shops specializing in fly fishing, classic
equipment, etc. where I could get out of the January weather and enjoy myself.
Thanks, Jim |

I would have said Hardy's and Farlows on Pall Mall in London, but the Hardy store is gone. Take in the changing of the guard at the palace and then the
three block walk to Pall Mall..

If you're close to Marylebone Station or Madame Tussaud's (in London), drop in to see this chap www.oreillysfishing.co.uk.
A proper flyshop - run by a fisherman. He can be very talkative, and if you don't get coffee, you might have to go to the pub. 
Regards, Doc |

Just returned from Europe and thanks again for the information. I found Farlow's on Pall Mall and purchased a very unique Wheatley mahogany fly cabinet.
It was a great gift for my son who was traveling with me.
