Dear [fname],

What I am looking forward to next month is the Catch Magazine DVD's. If you are not familiar with Catch Magazine look them up online, you will be glad you did. They are at the very leading edge of fly fishing films and photography and have really set the bar very high. Everything else now looks either grey or washed in pale pastel.

Bob Wyatt

Wyatt regards these flies as 'Trout Ammo' - His style in unconventional and yet extremely effective. Each fly is designed to be highly robust and simple to tie while presenting the essential triggers.
FEATURING:Wyatts' famous Deer Hair Sedge: Mayfly variant and large terrestrial variant. Wyatt's Deer Hair Emerger, Snow Shoe Hare emerger, Dirty Duster, Red Tag, Black and Peacock, Griffiths Gnat, Spent Spinner and Chironomid Buzzer
Over fifty years of fly fishing has convinced Wyatt that a few basic designs will cover almost any fishing situation, and in most cases will catch fish better than specific patterns created for the so-called 'selective trout'. The reason they work so well is because of the way a trout's brain works. These fly designs are based on the most important 'triggers' to a trout's feeding response a fly's size, shape and posture in the water. In fact, Wyatt regards a suggestive impression of a trout's food to be far more effective than a close copy imitation. Presentation is the key. With these flies you can confidently fish for trout, anywhere they swim. Buy Online

Rupert Murray
85 min.

Where have all the fish gone? As the world's demand for fish and other seafood increases and the technology available to commercial fisherman becomes more sophisticated, the annual harvest from global seaports has grown tremendously in recent years. However, the rise of industrialised fishing has not come without consequences, and many environmentalists and oceanographers believe that the current demand for fish and the methods used to fulfill it are taking an irreparable toll on the world's oceans, with some speculating that the seas could be literally fished-out by 2048 if current trends do not change.
Filmmaker Rupert Murray offers an in-depth look at the crisis in the world's oceans in the documentary THE END OF THE LINE, in which experts discuss some of the key factors behind the looming shortage -- increased demand for endangered species, irresponsible methods employed by major fishing lines, lax enforcement of current regulations -- and what can be done to head off the famine before it's too late.
