book wanted please

I looking for a book called "nymphs and the trout" by sawyer
if any member has a copy I could buy from them or lend if the do not want to sell
I am watching a couple on ebay but the conditions are a bit vague
thanks lee

Have you asked the libray if they can get you that book ?.
The lasses at my local libray at Roseworth can usually get me a book if its in the branches or if its in print still they have got me books before.

good idea peter. it says on kobo its a free down load for a E reader but I like turning pages and using a book mark.

I am talking about books lee. I havnt got round to downloading anything yet. They have Roger Foggs latest book in Stockton Libray called Northern Wet Fly. Ive got Mr Foggs first book and thats a classic thats taught me everything i know about fishing. Good or Bad .Well worth borrowing or buying.

Lee, How did you find the book on KOBO, I can't find it?

was told on another forum H, I myself have never searched for it mate

Hi Lee this is the best I can do for you on this http://www.abebooks.co.uk/book-search/title/nymphs-and-the-trout/author/frank-sawyer/sortby/3/page-1/

so am I peter I never download any thing. I phoned the library today to ask about joining. got a copy coming  off a member from another forum coming in the post this weekend hopefully. there a few hard backs on ebay at the moment but the condition is a bit vague
I have a copy of the art of wet fly by roger fog and how to tie a wet fly
I found an old broken radio in dads garage with some good thin copper wire in various colours, deep browns reds hence wanting the book on nymphs by sawyer I believe its all he used on his nymphs. an old boy who has since passed away told me sawyer tied good buzzers but had no luck finding any info

I made all them sayers nymphs ect when i first started tying flies and to be honest it was a waste of time.
I believe here in the north east the water is darker and colder so nymphs are not taken as much as they are on chalkstreams.
Its the same with spotting fish in our peaty stained rivers.
Sea-Trout are very hard to spot. But you go on these southern websites and the water is crystall clear.
My fav nymph is the hares ear in all its forms.
I have never caught a lot on the pheasant tail.
The Peter-Ross is the same you either love it or hate it.
I sacked a lot of my flies in 2002. I now carry a lot less and i am also more relaxed in my fishing. Old age or something.

I the complete opposite peter love the ptn can not get to grips with the grhe but tied hutchy a couple and he gets loads of fish

I like me gold ribbed hares really scruffy. Rough em up with velcro.And the gold bead hares ear is a good point fly when i fish a team of three on the river.

Thats why im so successful with them Lee... i've roughed them up that much with my backcasts into the banks and trees, the fish cant get enough of them

managed to get a copy of the book for £6.25

My montana nymphs are made with seals fur or a sub rather than chennile and i use zonker rabbit for the tail and crow feather for the thorax cover.
Black and Red and the Black and Green montanas usually caught me a fish.
When finished i rough them up with the velcro strip.

not a nymph I like to be honest I tied a couple on a long shank wet looked more like a mini lure than a nymph but they do get fish if were talking nymphs the diawl bach is the boyo. such a easy flee to tie
