Dear [fname],

After the pile of titles we got last month, this month is pretty tame.
Please note that 'Tactical Flyfishing' has sold out before we even advertised it, but I have another 10 copies on the way.

Guide to North Country Flies Mike Harding
R229.00
Mike Harding, the broadcaster and comedian and also a keen and experienced fly fisherman who nowadays writes a monthly column in Fly Fishing & Fly Tying magazine, has written a comparable guide to tying one of the most well-loved and beguiling traditions of fly: the Northern Spider.
These designs of fly, conceived in the north of England around Bolton Abbey in the Yorksire Dales near Skipton, renowned for being both simple to tie and excellent for catching fish. They are characterised by using brightly coloured silk threads, and the feathers of birds like snipe, woodcock and pheasant. Mike Harding covers some fifty variants of fly, as well as the techniques of tying and the history of the North Country tradition. The book features his own superb close-focus photography (his previous Little Books on church iconography for Aurum are evidence of his photographic skill), and is laid out in the same style as The Fly-Tying Bible.

A River Never Sleeps Roderick L. Haig-Brown
Foreword by Thomas McGuane
R279.00
Few books have captured the haunting world of music and rivers and of the sport they provide as well as A River Never Sleeps. Roderick L. Haig-Brown writes of fishing not just as a sport, but also as an art. He knows moving water and the life within it-its subtlest mysteries and perpetual delights. He is a man who knows fish lore as few people ever will, and the legends and history of a great sport.
Month by month, he takes you from river to river, down at last to the saltwater and the sea: in January, searching for the steelhead in the dark, cold water; in May, fishing for bright, sea-run cutthroats; and on to the chilly days of October and the majestic run of spawning salmon. All the great joy of angling is here: the thrill of fishing during a thunderstorm, the sight of a river in freshet or a river calm and hushed, the suspense of a skillful campaign to capture some half-glimpsed trout or salmon of extraordinary size, and the excitement of playing and landing a momentous fish. A River Never Sleeps is one of the enduring classics of angling. It will provide a rich reading experience for all who love fishing or rivers. Hardcover 216x154mm 376pgs 2010 Buy Online
