FLYMPH FORUM

a few others not in shot but these are my go to's...

Very nice collection.

I think this is a very cool idea for a thread

Unfortunately, at the moment, my books, like my magazines, are strewn all over the floor so not easily photographed!

But shall consider the thread a slow burner, and as i tidy up will contribute pic.

Andrew.
ps - want Rough Stream Nymph.

tis a good book. My litle 2nd edn copy I picked up in a little dusty 2nd hand shop for a fiver.. Cutcliffe's one next to it is also a good read.

drool....

(I count at least nine books I "need")

Ray,

Abe Books is my friend. My wife, who is just starting to see the light on wet fly fishing, isn't quite convinced, but I did see her skimming through Border River Angling the other day.
