Default 'The Nymph' - The Auction

Ladies and gentlemen, all the nymphs from our recent tying competition are now be auctioned off in aid of Sri Lanka Child Care


Bidding to start with immediate effect on this thread.


Sri Lanka Child Care is a UK based registered charity founded and run by my parents, Keith and Daphne,
which supports education in Sri Lanka, in the aftermath of the 2004 Tsunami which devastated the region.


Find out more here....Sri Lanka Child Care



The 'lot' consists of two of each nymph from the competition (55 entries = 110 flies) plus a couple of extras, making a total of 118 flies.


Here's just a small selection of some of the fantastic patterns up for grabs...

Midlanders Stunning 'Rogue Shrimp'
NCA's 'GPO'
Steve Cullen's Rhyac
Peter Duri's Stewart-style Cruncher
Pete's Olive


Then there's the stunning work of people like young entomologist/angler/tier Stan Mankov...

Click the image to open in full size.

The set includes flies from 'well known faces' like George Barron, and 'Total Flyfisher' Editor Steve Cullen,
and flies from Shetland to Cornwall, the U.S.A and Slovakia.


Some of these patterns could well become standards, and maybe one day, collectors items, who knows?
One thing is for sure, youll be bidding on the finest collection of new nymph patterns anywhere!

Dig deep guys, this is a fantastic and rare opportunity to acquire flies from some of the best talent
in this country and abroad, not to mention a whole host of practical fishing flies.


Here's a link to the complete set of 55.

Auction to close at midnight, Thursday 10th Feb.

Happy bidding, and good luck

Rob.

Anyone care to open the bidding at £50?

He's no tight, you're getting tight confused with loud!
I was in Manton one day, fishing holiday, we heard some shouting, and I turned and said to my mate, that's big Tosh, it was, we could here him coming from The Sailing Club!

Arite big man!
