"The South Island's wide diversity in landforms and climate is reflected in its waterways. There are sluggish, rain and swamp-fed streams meandering across farmland, clear rushing mountain torrents shaded by dense native bush, unstable glacier-fed rivers, cold spring streams and natural and artificial lakes. Yet nearly all these waterways contain trout, and with the many rivers and lakes exhibiting such widely differing characteristics, the South Island is truly an angler's paradise.
In this comprehensive guide to the South Island's incomparable trout fishing waters, more than 270 rivers and 95 lakes are described, along with their location, access, fishing season and appropriate techniques and flies. The book will be of special interest to anglers who enjoy the challenge of exploring and fishing new water. As the author says, 'one of trout fishing's great excitements is the experience of discovering a new stream or lake.'
John Kent, author of the successful companion volume, the North Island Trout Fishing Guide, draws on over 40 years' trout fishing experience and a lifelong enthusiasm for New Zealand's back country and high country fishing areas to provide an unparalleled guide for local and visiting anglers alike." |
"This book is a 'must have' for all anglers who fish for trout in New Zealand's South Island." Allan Burgess |
