This book is a simple catalog of ink sketches I created over the period from roughly 2008 though 2014. I have included a full catalog of my existing sketches of flies, fish, and fishing gear - they're all here. I decided to compile this sketch catalog for people who would like to browse the images, all the images, without the distraction of text. I see my ink sketches as simple representations of my world, having found the courage to "just draw" while visiting an elementary school in Corvallis, finding myself delighted to see paintings created by Third-graders. Their houses were off-kilter, their dogs had hind legs taller than the front, and the birds weren't quite like any real creature in nature. But their drawings made me smile, and I had a pretty good idea what they were representing. If 3rd grade children could create "art" why not me, as an adult? All it required, I reasoned, was to let go of my fear, and an expectation that my creations would meet a standard set by "real" artists. So I went to the local Bi-Mart, bought a kids watercolor set and a few ink pens, and started to doodle. Now, I'm told, I am an artist. Whatever. For anyone who finds these sketches intriguing or pleasing, thank you. JWN, December 2014 Please note I encourage all who purchase these books to take them to a business like Office Max or Kinkos and get them coil bound with a plastic cover sheet. It is rather inexpensive to do so and it makes it easy to lay the book flat open on a desk and prolongs the "like new" appearance of each book. Thank you very much. JN

100 miles from home, in the only fly shop in Oregon that carries the fly-tying vise that I desperately wanted, I happened to meet a fellow named Jay Nicholas who was showcasing his newly published books by sketching at a table in a fly shop.One by one, I picked up each of the displayed books and scanned through them. All the while he was sketching out a fat Chinook hen from the perspective of someone looking down into the river and seeing it lazily shading itself under an outcrop of tree branches. I have to say that the drawings made me giggle inside because his interpretation of the salmon hen was so round and roley-poley. If I looked hard enough, I imagine there’d be a smile on its face.
I ended up purchasing two of Jay Nicholas’ books, one of them being SKETCH. SKETCH has become a staple reference book in my fly tying library. When trying to design my own fly patterns, I use SKETCH as a catalogue to help me finalize certain aspects that I am stumped on.
The book also contains interesting perspective drawings of fish from salmonids to saltwater fish such as bonefish and permit. Seeing his interpretations and expression of these sacred animals always puts a smile to my face. In each sketch, you can definitely see what Jay finds important. There are also some perspective drawings of fishing gear which as a retro flavor to them.
If you like looking at sketches and imagining what these things look like in real life, this book is for you. My copy has been beat up by carrying it around in my briefcase, as I like to look through it while I’m traveling for work, wishing I was on the water swinging a fly I tied.
