In the 1946 thriller Terror by Night, Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone), about to board a train, encounters Inspector Lestrade (Dennis Hoey) on the same train, ready to presumably go on a vacation, and loaded down with fishing gear. He later tells Dr. Watson (Nigel Bruce) that Lestrade is on the train "giving an excellent imitation of Izaak Walton".

Also mentioned in A Group of Noble Dames by Thomas Hardy, where his relation to fish is compared to the one of the Petrick family towards landed aristocracy.
