The specimen anglers fishing bivvy is now an essential part of the modern day fisherman's armoury. They allow the fisherman to camp out on by lakes or rivers for days or weeks at a time usually while specimen hunting for difficult species such as Catfish or Carp.
A Bivvy is actually a nickname for a dome shaped tent which has been specifically designed for the over-night or long session angler in mind. Bivvy comes from the word Bivouac - which means 'to set up or camp in an improvised shelter', sometimes from natural materials. Often the Bivouac shelter consisted of two sheets - one for the groundsheet and one for the roof, which would usually be tied up between two trees. Another version of the Bivouac is the Bivouac sack, which is a thin waterproof outer casing fabric shell designed to go over the top of a sleeping bag. The Bivouac sacks are commonly used by climbers, mountaineers and hikers.
The Fishing Bivvy became commercially available to fisherman in the UK in the 1970's. It was designed as a throw over for a large fishing umbrella and effectively created a dome shaped tent, which was then pegged down for stability. This type of bivvy was also known as a Brolly Camp. These wrap around brolly camps or 'bivvies' are still available today, but also available now are stand-alone versions that do not require an umbrella for the body of the brolly camp. The more modern stand-alone bivvies are designed with a collapsible all-in-one structure that can be 'popped-up' and constructed much quicker than the wrap-over brolly camp styles. In fact manufacturers compete with each other to see whose bivvy can be erected in the quickest time as well as qualities such as waterproofing, stronger, breathable, easier to access and lighter. The latest models of bivvy such as the TFG Force 8 Extreme Bivvy can be apparently erected in less than 15 seconds.
Bivvies were primarily designed for anglers to fish overnight, but some are now designed to give anglers comfort during the day and to shelter from the elements. These bivvies are known as a day session shelter.
Bivvies are also designed for either 1 or 2 man fishing crews. The 2 man bivvies are obviously larger than the 1 man bivvies, but specimen anglers looking for a little more room for the vast amounts of tackle they require may opt for a 2 man bivvy for just themselves.
Top tackle manufacturers that supply fishing bivvies and day shelters include Daiwa, Fox, JRC, Korum, Nash, Pro Logic, TFG (TF Gear) and Trakker.
Also available for anglers with bivvies are bivvy accessories such as lights, tables, rig stations etc.. There is one clever device - the Fox Halo Elite Bivvy light for example - that can actually be programmed to switch on when a fish indicates a bite from your electronic bite alarms.
According to Nash their TT Rig Station is the carp worlds first dedicated bivvy station, work station and total tackle storage solution. It's an all-in-one solution for storing and organizing the carp anglers essential rigs, baiting needles, foam and other items.
Many bivvy accessories are available from all the top tackle manufacturers including kettles, pans, pots, stoves, tables, plates, torches, towels, headlamps, and many others - everything but the kitchen sink!

Specimen Days $7.99 In each section of Michael Cunningham's bold novel, we encounter the same group of characters: a young boy, a man, and a woman. "In the Machine" is a ghost story that takes place at the height of the industrial revolution, as human beings confront the alienating realities of the new machine age. "The Children's Crusade," set in the early twenty-first century, plays with the conventions of the noir thriller as it tracks the pursuit of a terrorist band that is detonating bombs around the city. The third part, "Like Beauty," evokes a New York 150 years into the future, when the city is all but overwhelmed by refugees from the first inhabited planet to be contacted by the people of Earth. Presiding over each episode of this inter-related whole is the prophetic figure of the poet Walt Whitman. Specimen Days is a genre-bending, haunting, and transformative ode to life in our greatest city, and a meditation on the direction and meaning of America's destiny. Abridged on 4 compact discs. Read by Alan Cumming. |

Prose Works 1892, Volume 1: Specimen Days $45.5 General Series Editors: Gay Wilson Allen and Sculley BradleyOriginally published between 1961 and 1984, and now available in paperback for the first time, the critically acclaimed Collected Writings of Walt Whitman captures every facet of one of Americas most important poets.The twovolume set of Prose Works 1892 proves that Whitmans prose has a quality no less original and distinctive than his poetry.Originally written and published as newspaper dispatches, Specimen Days is a collection of Whitmans onthespot notes of his experiences as a volunteer nurse in the hospitals in and around Washington during the Civil War. It contains, too, his nature studies, jotted down at the Stafford Farm near Camden during the years of convalescence after his paralysis in 1873. In these records of his observations, Whitman#8217s love and devoted care of the individual soldiers overshadow his concern for the course of the war itself and his interest in its major personalities. He sees, above all else, the wounded men in front of him, and these he describes in the simple, direct language that unmistakably marks his poetry as well.
