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.

system opened a new cart. There is no way around this, so we have
created a single link to all the items in this newsletter. If you want
to buy more than item you can then add them to your cart. The simple

Little
Red Book of Fly Fishing
Charlie Meyers & Kirk Deeter
Hardcover, 224 pg, 7.3 x 5.6 x 1 inch, 2010
R169.01
A pocket guide that offers insightful, plainspoken, expert advice for
every fly fisher. Two highly respected outdoor journalists, Kirk Deeter
of Field & Stream and Charlie Meyers of the Denver Post, have
cracked open their notebooks and shared straight-shot advice on the
sport of fly fishing, based on a range of new and old experiences—from
interviews with the late Lee Wulff to travels with maverick guides in
Tierra del Fuego.
The mission of The Little Red Book of Fly Fishing is to demystify and
un-complicate the tricks and tips that make a great trout fisher. There
are no complicated physics lessons here. Rather, conceived in the take
dead aim spirit of Harvey Penick's classic instructional on golf, The
Little Red Book of Fly Fishing offers a simple, digestible primer on
the basic elements of fly fishing: the cast, presentation, reading
water, and selecting flies. In the end, this collection of 240 tips is
one of the most insightful, plainly spoken, and entertaining works on
this sport one that will serve both novices and experts alike in
helping them reflect and hone in their approaches to fly
fishing. Buy

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

End of the Line
Rupert Murray
85 min.
R230.00
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. Buy
