AHH! A great little compact book with great explanation of casting ,that also even has colored detailed photos in it,. Before i had the shop and once stumbled across it in a store in Singapore. I would class it as a hidden gem of a book, thats easy to cart around due to its size, as for some reason most other casting books seem to be quite large in size, just like all my fish. :) Again i would never sell my customers something i would not buy or have bought! STU :)

This man is also a legend in his on right, a very talented man i once also had a chance meeting with in the usa at a fly tying get together, lovely man . Who has put a lot of time to say the least, into all his works from fly designs , art and teaching. This is a great book thats got everything you may wish for about the insects and how he has created fly designs to match them, i,ve used this book as a reference when having fun at the vice designing my own style of flies. A would not sell this book if i thought it was crap. Stu :)

Sadly Mel , Died this year, and for me was the man who made me learn to cast better, and study my casting, as well as all of that he explains things the way i also like , nice and simple and basic but full of fun!. This book i used many times for a reference when i sat my fff casting instructors test and also the biggest test the holy smoke one the MASTERS. :) One of my proud moments in my life was to meet him the year before the legend passed away. BUY THE BOOK. :) STU

This is a new book, like the title says ,its got some great little tips in it from a fly shop worker. and just like me he,s seen it all, and lets you the reader into a load of little things he,s discovered and learned from others. You would even learn some of these from me at my fly fishing school or on a days guided fly fishing and even more! This book is great to have and to transport good for a plane trip or when you have the shits with your partner. STU :)

This a wee paperback classic which, is one of those books that will always interest many fly fishers and fly tiers. Its a good wee on the water reference book, or when your staring at the vice, or teaching somebody about some of the aquatic insects that the fish eat. Stu :)

Another good casting book to have in the collection, you never stop learning! This is one of the top selling paperback casting books in the USA, i,m told. If you have a few books already then add this one, to the library ,but do read it. :) STU

Going on a trip or plane , worth getting this to read through, even if you are experienced ,take your self back in time and re-learn. This is also a good book to give your partner if they are female as this is written by a Chick!! Go the Chicks i say!!,Great to kindle interest and get them into fly fishing, plus you will also learn a few things i,m sure,, i,ve hired a female casting masters through the years for casting and i would say they are some of the best teachers, some times i even have to put a skirt on when i,m teaching >:) Stu

USE THESE AS A LITTLE HOPPER,CRICKET! SIGHT FLIES(all the luv machines have a visual white sighter at the base of the wing) OR AS A CADDIS. PURE QUALITY UNIQUE FLIES! WHY BUY CRAP COPIES! SUPPORT STU THE DESIGNER!

This synthetic fly drying patch also makes for a handy leader straightener.

These packs of cards are great for a gift for anybody , you just cant go wrong. There is always a space somewhere for a wee pack of cards especially fish/fly ones. :) Stu

A thin braid with a dyed core giving a dual colour depth that will add a little extra to any fly pattern.
Great for bodies on saltwater flies.
*Please note, now comes in packets, not on spools.

Got a chance to sit down last night and watch the DVD. What an excellent production! The video quality is outstanding. I like how the different methods are broken down into components and taught separately and then all brought together in the final chapter when Aaron demonstrates on the stream. The chapter breakdown on the DVD makes it very easy to navigate to a certain section that you want to watch again or have questions on. From a day on the stream with Aaron as my guide I had a leader that I was able to break down and come up with recipe for and its nice to compare to what he shows on the video to see how close I was (I was almost right on). I liked seeing the Davy Wotton knot shown as it will be very useful for its intended purpose (tying the sighter into my leader rig has always been an issue for me). I also enjoyed the fly tying and seeing how Aaron ties up some very successful patterns.

Put some of Stu's Superior line cleaner on this pad at the end of your days fishing, run your fly line through it and you will increase the life of your flyline. Simple!

This is a great double gift for your self or a friend, and maybe even an enemy! The film is Awesome and the cap pretty cool and fits all.

Well if you are reading this you know what a good shirt is and this is the one ,that will become your favorite summer shirt, at the barbie ,down the beach ,stalking bones on the flats or at the dinner table on holiday. Everyone should have a good summer shirt and this is the one. I also have some in a light green colour, let me know which colour you prefer. Cool shirts ! with an upbeat cool fly fishing film to accompany it ,just like a fine wine and cheese! :) Stu
