Fifty Places To Fish Before You Die

For the travelling fly fisherman, some waters become destinations of a lifetime - and this beautifully illustrated book takes you to fifty of the finest fly fishing locations in New Zealand and Australia. Edited by respected Australian angler and former FlyLife editor Rob Sloane, the book brings together experienced local anglers who know these waters intimately. Each destination covers the character of the fishery, access, when to go, tackle, flies and techniques, together with practical information on the surrounding area. The New Zealand selections are particularly enticing, including Fiordland, Hanmer Springs, Mayfly Lakes, Mossburn, Queenstown, Murchison, Nelson, Wanaka and Hawea, wilderness rivers and other celebrated trout waters. Australia is equally well represented, with Tasmania, Cape York, the Blue Mountains, the Kimberley, Broome and many more. For anyone dreaming of stalking big, wary brown trout in crystal-clear New Zealand rivers - or exploring Australia’s extraordinary freshwater and salt-water fisheries - this is both a practical resource and a wonderfully inspiring armchair journey. Beautifully photographed throughout, with the kind of destinations that will have any serious fly fisherman reaching for his passport. Very good condition. Softcover, 21cm x 19cm, 234 pages.
