72 The following 40 lots are the property of the late Rev E.C. Alston ( ), arguably one of the most successful, but least known, anglers of the 20th Century. A keen all-round angler and field sportsman, he held the British record in 1933 for both Tench (7lbs) and Rudd (4lbs 8ozs), the latter remaining a British record until Although Alston was never to publish an article or write a book, he was greatly admired for his angling prowess by many of the famous anglers of the day, most notably Bernard Venables MBE and Fred Buller MBE, with whom Rev. Alston became a close friend and spent many happy occasions fishing the Irish Loughs and rivers. At the age of 82, Rev. Alston was to catch his last pike, a fish of 7lbs, from his favourite fishing venue; Lough Nafooey, Connemara in the company of Buller, who ended Alston s obituary thus; Last summer Edward Alston caught his last pike on the Nafooey a 7 pounder. We made fishcakes with its meat and Edward sat at my table in my little fisherman s cottage with five other fishermen we drank his health.
