Trout 2 min noodles anyone? Stu's Famous Recipe.

Days & days of solid effort eventually paid off.

Minus 3 Last night, again! Hail stones are now hitting the car, Thunder is booming as I attempt this newsletter, and the signal keeps cutting out on this mountaintop. I had to kick the frozen door in my office. To be able to open it early this morning.

Hello Everyone

I hope you are all well, even though I know a few of you reading this are going through tough chemo-cancer times. And then there are those also doing it tough in Ukraine. My heart goes out to you, and we all think of you. Stay strong, brothers and sisters. x

Thank you all for your great support with fly orders, books, and stickers. It's very much appreciated. But you all know that I hope. Si is helping with that social media thing, and She's got me sending her photos and short videos of my book adventure over here, so check out the Instagram nowadays.

I've sent nearly 60 videos of stuff to entertain you all for at least two minutes, sometimes 6O seconds. Yes, it's been a while. I am keeping things original, unique and fishing in general. Fun for all.

 Enjoy the photos, videos, tips and reviews on my so please, like and follow my brand new STUS SEXY INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT and please like, comment and follow and all that wonderful stuff.

Oh, I only swear once, I think? And there's only a bit of bonking in one scene. But it's censored and rated for over the fifties.

 So It's been a while since the last newsletter, and as I pre-warned you all, and rechallenged myself by jumping off the deep end before one cannot. So I bit the bullet and went to Tasmania to work on another book in the series. I bought a second-hand car, and between that and my tent, I've been limping around Tassie, and the adventures and story are coming together for a book.

The Summer in Tassie, what summer! Fishing here is just as excellent as the people, and the wildlife and wilderness areas are outstanding. It's a sight fly fishers paradise, but in the mountains, you need perfect weather, like really excellent; the summers have been patchy, to say the least; I'm wrapped up and in my sleeping bag right now, and it's only 4 pm. Summadds to another excellent book story, one hopes.

I've been nailing all my trout thus far, mainly on dry flies, the Deadly mayfly Spinner in black 12 and 14 and then by far the most irresistible fly to the trout over here, I've found, my mayfly cripple in size 14 and 16, which seems to out fishes any parachute dun.

Don't worry why I'm away, Ben (the poet) and mad keen fly fisherman, guide, and coach who is also about to release a fantastic autobiography fly fishing book along with poems, and cool as chips wifey Si, who's recovering from breast cancer, poor wee thing. Si has been documenting her journey HERE, Have read and follow Si, and it may also help others as well with their healing.

They are sending out any fly orders and rocking Athol, Plus helping take the brand, Stus Superior Fliesyet another level as they are far more sociable than me, which would not be hard! It's a uniquely passionate, caring brand, story and range of flies. And they reckon the whole world needs to know.

Love from Tasmania xx Stu and NZ = Tigs, Si & Ben & 2 Big Dogs

YoBBEN - Holding a sexy, silky, NZ brown trout - caught yesterday

And guess what one of Stu's Superior flies Ben caught it on?

The geek in me has always wanted to see and catch one of these Tassie stoneflies. I'm stooked.

Occasionally if you get lucky, you get a few days of actual summer up here, and it's a special place no matter what the weather is like.

A stunning Black Tiger worm or maybe its a?

Working in the cramped office for weeks on end, and in the tent, between getting stories, being creative, And guess what! it's actually coming together, 60+ K of words down already, hundreds of hours spent on it, and the title will be of this future book - Wandering Trout - You're going to wet your pants.

A little insight for you all - Of behind the scenes of another future book cover - Ronnie uses all my photos and a little direction, then runs with it and has been busy working on this book cover- first, she sent me this.

Then the next time Ronnie sent me this, every book cover in the series is going to look so cool with the way she, gets creative with her art and colours. Bless.

Here are one of many of the latest comments from people who have bought and read some of Stu's books. It's a pleasure to make you all happy and laugh and learn. Thank you all so much, and please keep all those wonderful positive comments coming in. They're all appreciated. Helps drive me to do more writing work. Bless.

Stu, as you know from our emails, I don't Fish, but had an inkling that I would like the adventure and your style. Your books arrived almost 2 weeks ago, and I was going to let you know they had as soon as I got them...but I first read through the pamphlets and the catchy marketing blurbs of your hooks over a few chuckles and couldn't resist opening up the first book.

Then I was hooked, not the barbless variety, as like a glutton, I engulfed it in a couple of days. It is that good! Seriously, it's brilliant - captures the essence of travelling, is humourous, and educational and has plenty of good nuggets to store away for some future travels.

I'm now reading it again to my son for bedtime story time (I omit or change the swearwords, but he reads his bedtime stories along with me and points out when I make mistakes, but with this one, he pointed out to me after the first night after the time was up "gee he swears a lot" ;-)

I've been more restrained with the second book and savouring it so I can indulge in it for longer.
