I agree Harold!

His style is classic!

But if folks would like to do an Internet search on him they need to spell his name Abbett.

Not to hog the thread, the setters are beautiful, but Mr. Abbott did a great job with Brittanies as well. His paintings put you in the spot. I have three Brit prints and a pointer print, I bought from a friend who was selling some things after a divorce, that I kept because he did it.

Thanks Dean. I had just finished one of his books prior to you posting that pic and thought I saw a resemblance to his photo on the dust jacket.

Sad to learn of his Robert Abbett's passing, I am presently the caretaker of his 8'6", 3/2, 7 wt. Orvis "Light Salmon" cane rod.
