Pike On The Fly
This year in October the Guild has arranged two extra outings, fly fishing for Pike. Paul Davis is the organiser and the venue will be Weirwood Reservoir. Check out the fishing programme page for more info and a downloadable PDF containing all the relevant details.
AUCTION – IMPORTANT CHANGE OF DATE
Due to an unavoidable clash of dates, our Auctioneer, Mike Humphreys, has had to ask us to re-arrange the date of the first auction (scheduled for 21st October). We have only been able to book the double room at Patcham for a slightly later date, and the new date is Thursday 18th November 2010 for the auction for flydressing materials, books, etc. The date for the tackle auction remains unchanged and is for Tuesday 2 November.
‘If you could only fish with three flies,
what would be your choice?’
Chris Sandford has fished since he was a boy and his collection of vintage tackle ranks amongst the finest in the UK. Perhaps more curious than most about the items we fish with, he became intrigued by the fact that many skilled and experienced fly fishers only ever use a handful, or less, of flies. We all, he concludes, have many more flies than we will ever need. This fascinating, meticulously photographed book is the product of Chris asking eight highly respected fly-tyers to name, and tie, their three favourite flies. The resulting twenty-seven patterns are, without doubt, the flies that catch fish.
Compelling fireside reading for the winter months, a book no serious fly fisher should be without. Click here to view or download a PDF with more information on this excellent title.
