Hello Guys
I'm hoping you are all well and getting out side and having fun.
This past few years I've just realized, I've been sending and creating far less news letters. Sorry. Why? Some may think its because of no guiding work etc for two years now. not the case, even though, I've lost 80% of income and got some help from the government. Can't thank them enough. I'm not complaining it is what it is. I'm happy and alive - fat and cuddly. And have grown far too many potatoes this year. See photo above, that I've finally finished my giant garden pole art- burnt them and added spanners! NZ Falcons are now using them, to pluck birds. Calling them, now my falcon poles.
DID YOU KNOW - the stats for the Stu's news letter nowadays ? Wow ! so many of you cool cats get it and read it. It's an Honor. See the stats, below. Thank you all for signing up and for many of you opening and enjoying it. I'm never on social media to communicate with ya. Sorry. If i was i,d never be able to do all my creative stuff, like write books, design flies.Though I may be getting help with that, Social media ! Stuff, soon. But hey here the news letter, enjoy.

I am so busy though having fun with my work, huge hours, more than ever, with a ton of juicy creative projects, mainly book projects for you all to enjoy eventually. The plan is to try and give you 10 good books in the series before I'm 60. Which I know is a huge task. I'll do it. I promise you all. :) This book project actually stared well over ten years ago.
So its not that I'm being lazy. With the lack of news letters its that I'm just busy getting on with it all and working with some fun other creatives helping making it all eventually happen.
Though it can't and will never happen with out you lovely awesome guys. Thank you all. You all rock.
GET READY!
OUT COME THE DOGS vol 6
Is so close to launch, Going for another Kickstarter to try and raise the funds for it to be printed and for you all you supporters to have, read and enjoy. Its another big thick book, 450+ pages of fun and adventure.
I'm also asking you lovely readers and supporters of the last book. CHASING TIGERS to email me please through some reviews, to use in the front of the book, on its next if ever print run, If you don't mind and have the time. Thank you in all in advance.
Here is the link to go and stay and visit the village in Chasing Tigers book. You will love it and the owners. Go visit and support NEPAL - before you die. Or they do virtual tours - just ask them, let them, digitally, show you around for a small fee.
TROUT LOVE vol-4 NZ adventure is going to be the follow up book.
TROUT WONDERLAND vol 7 another NZ adventure is planed after that. The photos above of me out side working was taken recently from when I just made a big commitment and spent over a month in the bush remotely, camping, eating noodles, with my office, writing and getting out there fishing etc and getting the story needed for the book Trout Wonderland vol 7. Hopefully writing outside with nature for over a month, gives it a different perspective. Talk about committed :) or just plain daft.
Soon some video content should be coming out. Its been pointed out that having the best fishing flies in the business and an apparent remarkable story and brand. Needs pushed more. So I get it and listened, And had to get in front of the camera. So watch this space.
CHASING TIGERS- Oh! I'm doing a book launch for that recent book in Athol on the evening of 30th of this month- April, At the Famous Athol cafe The Brown Trout. I promise that I will not be upside down for that one. :) So come along- no need for a tie Rob & Jane say- Casual dress is fine. Just bring your purses and wallets & condoms. Yes its going to be a big night!
My good mate Dylan from Utha, has been catching a few whopping carp using my carp flies. The Stu's Superior flies trout stickers on his boat, I think also brings him more luck. :)
In the videos below you will see Sage fly rods new R8 fly rod video. They are the leaders by far in the rod game and just a bunch of lovely fly rod people.
The others are all to do with my love for wildlife and Africa. Where I once used to do photographic safaris and frown at any hunters over there- That's now changed I now realize with out it and all the scientific evidence to back it up- there would be nothing left. Its amazing how it all works, to think I was ignorant and blind to it all.
I've been doing a few pre-guided days- It's been on fire,the odd monster trout, for some clients. 30+ hook ups a day. On Deadly nymphs.
Also got few great photos form fly customers as well. Love seeing the young guys kicking their dads butt!
Anyhow all of you keep loving life.
Buy a heap of flies, support the books and tell all you mates.
Catch ya- Thanx heaps
Cheers
Stu & Trigs xx
