A Little Light Holiday Reading

With the launch this year of our NEW and updated Almanacs - one each for both Rivers & Stillwaters - I've had numerous emails from very happy customers saying how much they've enjoyed reading them and then dipping back into them before each trip to help them get more enjoyment from their fishing - which is exactly what we hoped for them when launched.

I even had a few customers say they never realised that we also have a series of books dedicated to the niche aspects of fly fishing - all at pocket money prices (£9.99).

So I thought, as we are now in the middle of the holiday season, it was a great time to revisit the books we have available - so you can at least think (and read) about fishing when you're away from the water.

There are currently six books in the FLY: series (with more in the pipeline), let's start with one which will come in very handy over the next few weeks:

Small Streams & Small Flies

The 3rd book in our series contains a detailed analysis of how to approach fly fishing in small streams, using small flies.

In this book, you will discover the techniques, flies, watercraft and how to approach fishing in smaller streams and rivers. This book also discusses the type of conditions you can expect to face on small streams and the various tips, tricks and techniques used the fish them. We've also included leader configurations specifically designed for use on small streams with smaller flies.

Once we move into mid-September, attention usually turns to the larger flies in our collection - namely Daddies & Streamers/Lures.

Our 4th book in the FLY: series focusses on the larger flies - namely Streamers:

Streamer Fishing Tactics

In this book, you will discover the techniques, flies, casts, watercraft and how to approach streamer fishing in both rivers and stillwaters.

Our book also discusses the different types of streamers and lures available on the market today, how to choose which ones and where to use them to get the most success.

We've included a section on Watercraft, showing you when and where to deploy the various streamer techniques - as streamers are larger flies, we've also added a section on how to cast them using the Double Haul.

Once we move later in the year it's the Grayling which spark our interest, and as you may gather, we've got you coverd for that also!

Our 5th book in the FLY: series focusses the Lady of the Stream:

Fishing For Grayling

In this book, you will discover the techniques, flies, casts, watercraft and how to approach fishing for Grayling.

This pocket-sized book will give you all the information you need to effectively target Grayling in UK rivers. Grayling were once thought of as a pest and were removed from rivers all across the UK - in the misguided thought that they interfered with spawning trout. However, Grayling fishing is now on the up and is a great way to extend your fishing season - it's also my favourite quarry and I always look forward to the colder months in search of Grayling.

We also have three more books in the series focussing on different aspects of fly fishing, Early Season, The Mayfly and Salmon Fishing:
