Sawan Nail 1969-2009

The Denver fly-fishing community suffered a great loss this week with the passing of Sawan Nail (weblink).
A great friend and regular guide of Discount Fishing, he was taken from us rather suddenly on Monday Night.
Sawan was a great fisherman and a great guide. He did extensive work with Casting for Recovery(link). He is survived by his wife Noel, his many friends, and the countless people whose lives he touched along the way. He will be missed by many and his perpetual smiling face is something that I personally will miss greatly.

The Primal Fly family and friends are auctioning off a TFO Bob Clouser rod in a 8′9″ 8wt with a Retail value is $199, and we will marry this rod with a 3.5 Lamson Guru ($219). If you are looking for a new carp stick and would like to help support a great guides widow, here’s your chance. Please bid generously as all proceeds will go directly to Noel. Leave your bids in the comment section of this thread, and the auction will end in 7 days of this posting( Please be sure to include your email address). You will mail a check directly to Noel Nail, and I will ship the rod out to you. Thanks for your support in this matter.

Please feel free to visit www.sawannail.com to make donations and express your condolences. I’m gonna miss you buddy, but I know you are up there banging 30 inch browns in the most money river you’ve ever seen. Tight Lines my man. See ya soon.

Our hearts are with you on your next journey,
Tom and the rest of the Primal Fly team

Special thanks to the Folks at Lamson and TFO for their kind support!
