All these fish come from the celebrated collection which for many years
decorated the famous Flowerpot Inn near Henley. This inn was a Mecca for those
interested in fishing as it was situated just a few yards from a beautiful
stretch of the River Thames and contained a very extensive collection of
preserved fish trophies. Those interested, can find a variety of videos on
YouTube by searching for The Flowerpot near Henley. Two of the most informative
