John Brookes's account of seventy years of fly fishing, with a particular focus on the Central Highlands of Tasmania — the Shannon Lagoon, Great Lake, Miena and the surrounding high country waters that defined his fishing life. The foreword is by David Scholes — Tasmania's most celebrated fly fishing writer.
David Scholes's account of fly fishing the Macquarie River — widely regarded as Tasmania's premier mayfly river, which flows through the Northern Midlands to join the South Esk near Longford.
Roy Dean's personal reminiscences of the Shannon Rise — one of the most celebrated fly fishing events of the 20th century, and a phenomenon that made Tasmania's Central Plateau famous among serious trout anglers worldwide. The Shannon Rise occurred on summer evenings on the Shannon River near Great Lake in Tasmania's Central Highlands, when vast numbers of trout would rise simultaneously to take the evening hatch — creating fishing conditions that veteran anglers described as unlike anything found anywhere else in the world.
Nymph Fishing in the Southern Hemisphere by RH Wigram was among the earliest works to address nymph fishing technique specifically in Australian and New Zealand conditions, at a time when the method — pioneered in England by G.E.M. Skues — was still a matter of controversy among traditional dry-fly anglers. Original editions are now very scarce; this is a numbered facsimile reprint.
