Dear
[fname],
Just a quick reminder that Simon Gawesworth will be at the Shop on Tuesday the 15th of November, please pop round and say Hi.
Having had a look at the 'Flynation' DVD I have to admit that we now
have another DVD that 'raises the bar' in terms of cinematography. Not
only is the content excellent, but the use of tilt-shift in the filming
makes some scenes quite memorable. Highly recommended.
There is a simple text listing of the new titles here
to simplify the online ordering process

Adirondack Flies Volume 1
J.P. Ross
Spiral-Softcover, 5x9 inches, 91 pages, 2011
R289.00
I have owned and operated a fly shop and fly rod company for over 10
years, and fished for at least twice that amount of time. In that time
I have caught many fish, but there are many things I have not done. I
have never caught a brown trout in my home waters over 20 inches, I
have not caught a brook trout in the Adirondacks over 2 pounds, and I
have never considered myself to be a terribly good fly tier.
I have however always enjoyed tying flies, and I more often than not
prefer fishing with close friends than fishing alone. Because of my
experience owning and operating JP Ross Fly Rods for many years, I have
built up an excitement working with different materials. It is because
of this excitement and so called understanding of materials that I
truly enjoy making flies.
This book is intended to do a number of things. It is to inspire
others, especially children, to fly fish and create flies. It is to
entertain, and bring some awareness to the great fishing in the
Adirondacks, and promote preservation of that ecosystem so that the
fishing remains great for years to come.
Any experienced fly tier will look at these photos and notice heads
that are not tied perfectly, hairs that are out of place or not trimed,
and proportions that are not perfect or "by the book." This was done
intentionally. I will never tie the perfect fly, and there are many fly
tiers who also tie their heads too big, or tails too long, but those
flies still catch fish, and entertain the fly tier. In the end, that's
all that matters to me.
Here is an example of the photography and stories in this book. The
book is over 90 pages and is full color with spiral binding so the book
will lay flat on your fly tying desk. This book is full color and contains over 40 unique and classic
Adirondack Flies. A great gift and a great book to just sit down with
on a rainy day. Buy

Furled Leaders: All of the Secrets behind Creating Fly Fishing's Best Leader
Steven Zondag
Softcover, 7x9 inches, 74 pages, 2011
R289.00
Furled leaders have many advantages when compared to other types of
leaders. Constructed similar to a length of rope, they are virtually
memory free. This lack of memory means you never need to straighten
them, they are more accurate and they help detect light strikes. Their
flexibility also gives them a soft natural presentation of the fly,
while still having the power to turnover long tippets. The best part is
that you create these leaders at home using roughly the same time and
cost as tying a fly. Creating them yourself also gives you the ability
to customize every aspect of your leaders. This book is the first of
its kind, showing you all the secrets behind creating furled leaders.
From the first knot to the finishing loop this fully illustrated book
guides you step by step through creating and customizing all types of
furled leaders. In a short amount of time you will be able to create an
unlimited supply and an unlimited variety of your own customized
leaders. Buy
