NOMAD UK - NEWS & EVENTS

2001 was NOMAD UK's  British Fishing Anniversary.

Before discussing events for 2001 It gives me great pleasure to congratulate SCOTLAND'S  JUNIOR STILLWATER TEAM in succeeding as U.K. JUNIOR CHAMPIONS !!

*** NOMADUK offers a custom-made service to all StillWater Teams seeking a professional image and team identity with functional performance ....... only pending winning teams may apply !

We are celebrating by slashing 20% off retail prices on all NOMAD UK fishing products bought directly from NOMAD UK or from participating outlets., until 31st January 2002

Also, each month we are introducing new products at a price upto 45% off the 2002 Retail Price.

These include:

(All these prices are valid until 31st JUNE 2002 - on a first come first served basis - so contact us early to avoid disappointment)

and there are other fishy surprises arranged for later in the year. In the meantime we have also increased our range of country clothing introducing a Lady's and Gents Riding Coat based on the hugely successful Reversible Hunter Coat, which we are also modifying to present a model for purely driven game. Check these out in greater detail in New Products and in person  at our modified Events below.

EVENTS

Due to Foot & Mouth disease our original plans of attending a much increased number of exhibitions and shows changed. We had to cancel three of our four Stillwater-based and postpone one river-based Parent & Child Events.

The NOMAD UK PARENT & CHILD GAME FAIR at SPRINGWATER Fishery on June 17th went  ahead. It was a great day with lots of events and there was also other  manufacturers exhibiting , entrance was FREE so, if you are in the area do come along. 

Sadly,  the four preliminary events of the NOMAD UK sponsored Scottish National Rivers Championships 2001 have been postponed from April and May to September. A report of last year's two NOMAD UK sponsored events:  2000 NOMADUK NATIONAL RIVERS CHAMPIONSHIP and The PEREGRINE NOMAD UK INTERNATIONAL TEAM CHALLENGE follows after

Having supported The PEREGRINE / NOMAD UK INTERNATIONAL TEAM CHALLENGE for the last two years, and, in doing so supported very professional and gifted anglers with an event, we wanted to do something special for our celebratory year and support children. Unfortunately because of the ravages and restrictions imposed by Foot & Mouth disease we are left with one venue at present, and are very grateful to The management of Springwater Fishery, Dalry by Ayr for his generous hospitality enabling us to arrange this event. 

The day will include a competition and instruction events and it is very worthwhile coming and visiting if in the area as a number of other exhibitors are also keen to come and support children and fishing. It is designed to be  FUN !! So,......    see you there.

b). 13Ft 6ins … 8/9 .. 4pce …  An ‘amazing’ rod …s o easy to cast… both single and double handed ..very             adaptable, greased line river salmon/steelhead  to … even conventional Loch style !!    Able to control close in at the end of a cast will also produce a long line with very little effort. A pure delight to use…. £510:00

c). 11Ft 3ins  …. 7/8 .. 4pce . We .call this ‘The HEBRIDEAN’.  Designed as a ‘Spate River’ rod wonderful for ‘Switch’,’Tuck’, ‘Spey’ casting and Loch Style the “HEBRIDEAN” is not just a  Great Summer Allrounder …. It is also the ‘tool’ for  seeking out big Sea trout from the Teifi to the Grande … £485:00

e). 10Ft …. 6 …. 4pce..   Wee Doubles , fine Distance Dry Fly, Czeck Nymphing, Sea Trout at night … even  Alaskan ‘Mouseing’?? …..this rod does it all and some. The tip is ‘so responsive’ to the slightest zephyr-like touch. … £460:00

f). 9Ft  …….10/11 … 4pce … Permit, Tarpon, Pike , King Salmon… Big flies …even bigger backbone. Developed to load quickly, cast long lines and big flies with a tip strong enough to sink a hook into stiff jaws and with a progressive stiff butt section for fighting big feisty fish. … £485:00

g).9Ft …..  8 /9 ……. 4pce … Bass, Bones n’ Barracuda  ….  Even speedier load-up than it’s bigger brother, can cast a super long line with very reliable accuracy.  If you’re looking for one rod for Alaskan Salmon, THIS is it… quick load up, powerful delivery of 200 to 500 grain shooting heads, and a butt section to turn express trains in their tracks. … £465:00  

h). 9Ft 3ins ….7 ……4pce … Mmmmh … Built like a saltwater rod… casts like a rocket… long accurate  lines with delicacy for tailing  Bones, yet responsive at short  notice when stalking Big Alaskan Rainbows  and New Zealand / Chilean Browns with nymph or ‘egg-flies’.  Great Reservoir ‘bank rod’ too !!.. £440:00

i).  8Ft 6ins ….4 …..3pce ….Light, delicate,  crisp progressive action  …Dry Fly … from short steep  tapered leadered Sedges to long, fine and far-off Midge… say no more !!  £420:00

Each rod is designed to do a specific job but is ‘tweaked’ to give that little bit more whether it be in relation to lines used or quarries sought after giving that much more value for money. On top of this  all rods come in their own protective Rod / Reel bag with room for a fly box enabling everything to be carried together.

Finished in a flash-free black matt, with the best of fittings and cork plus black aluminium reel  seats, the quality of workmanship can be seen in the trueness and seating of each joint plus the outstanding standard of varnishing.

There is a difference in the make-up of the Saltwater and  Freshwater designs with the latter being made up of 50 million modulus plus carbon resulting in an exceptionally light, powerful and very responsive action whilst Saltwater fish and fishing conditions demand a more robust taper, a more powerful butt section and carbon structure for strength and quick loading, plus oversized snake rings
