For fly fishers dreaming of Australia's legendary trout waters, this book is the Victorian equivalent of John Kent's famous guide to New Zealand. If you're planning a DIY fly fishing adventure, this is exactly the sort of insider information anglers spend years trying to gather. Written by respected Victorian fisheries scientists, including renowned trout biologist Barry Tunbridge, this authoritative guide covers the state's finest rivers, lakes and streams in remarkable detail. Organised by drainage basin, it includes comprehensive maps, access points, detailed descriptions of Victoria's best-known trout waters, species lists, stocking history, river characteristics, conservation notes and practical information that helps anglers understand not only where to fish, but why those waters are so productive. For the independent fly fisher, it's a goldmine of local knowledge! The sort of reference you'll pore over long before your trip begins, tracing rivers on maps, planning daily routes and imagining what might lie around the next bend. It's the kind of detailed, hard-earned information that fly fishers treasure and that has become increasingly difficult to find in one place. This is an outstanding addition to any serious fly fishing library. Very good condition. Softcover, 29cm x 21cm, 119 pages.
