Synopsis Frank Sawyer spent his life in the valley of the river Avon which passes through the downlands of Salisbury Plain. From early boyhood he was enraptured by the river and the wild creatures that lived in and around it. At the age of eighteen he took the job of under-keeper and thereafter devoted his life to the upkeep of the river Avon. This book contains much of the wisdom and insight acquired in the course of the author’s long life. Sawyer’s observations are still as fresh and perceptive as the day they were written and river-keepers today would be hard pressed to find a repository of piscatorial and riparian information to equal it.

Fishing on the Front Line Written & Signed by Nick Sawyer Nick Sawyer is a young soldier and a fisherman. His military career has already taken him to 22 different countries and whether he is peace-keeping amongst the burning villages and mass graves of the Balkans or being attacked by hornets in the jungles of Malaysia, he always has a hook and line to hand. In between soldiering duties he slips away to fish. Often he meets locals by the river, and the common language of fishing cuts across the bloody backdrop of the war. Nick Sawyer, grandson of the great Wiltshire riverkeeper Frank Sawyer, takes the reader on a fascinating trip to the heart of some of the terrible conflicts of the modern world – yet he also shows the humour and camaraderie of soldiering. It doesn't matter whether he is raiding a terrorist's house at dawn or dodging bullets in a grotty third-world street, there is always a humourous quip to make light of the situation. He fishes for trout, huchen, kelah, mosquitofish, tilapia and mackerel with nets, rods and traps. There are no halfmeasures when it comes to the dedication of a fisherman or a soldier.

Nymphs and the Trout Written by Frank Sawyer, signed by Nick Sawyer Special 2006 limited edition consisting of the first and second editions of the book combined into one volume, a new chapter and a new introduction. Limited to 500 quality buckram hardbacks in a slipcase. One certainty about fishing, the least certain of all sports, is the impossibility of knowing it all. Everybody knows that to the making of angling books there is no end, and that for some of them there is no readily perceptible reason. In the present instance the reason will soon be very obvious to all who are drawn into Sawyer’s enthralling odyssey through the under-water world and share his broadening view of a most skillful and attractive form of fly-fishing; a form in which the extra flexibility in tactics gives the fisherman opportunities to surmount environmental handicaps which are denied him in the older forms of fly-fishing. Brand new limited edition hardback volume in marble slipcase. Strictly limited to 1000 individually numbered copies. Consists of the 1958 first edition, 1970 second edition and a brand new chapter of new material. Free nymph sample with every copy sold. Nymphs and the Trout SPECIAL PRICE £35.00
