The North Country Fly

I recently was recommended to buy and read Robert Smith's book "The North Country Fly". I really enjoyed his writing about the classic Yorkshire spiders and its rich history. The photos are awesome too. Great book worth reading.

Bob's book is really nicely done.

Anyone who likes Bob's book would be thrilled with ANGLING WITH THE FLY: FLIES & ANGLERS OF DERBYSHIRE AND STAFFORDSHIRE. BY JOHN N. WATSON.

Published in 2008, it seems Paul Morgan is now selling this book at steep discounts, as I believe the publishing house is no more. This has to be one of the best buys of recent times.....

I accidentally bought 2 copies @ about $50 each.

I put an announcement on the forum here, $35 shipped and got 19 responses in the first 2 minutes.
