Long out of print, this is NZ's preeminent 'trout book', if one can be so frank. There's an old adage "the best fishing starts where the road ends". That's really what this book is about - the fishing that awaits the angler at the end of the road. Many people have discovered for themselves the quality fishing that awaits them in the back country, not just the local anglers, but visitors from overseas head into the hills each year to fish. As a result these trout have become educated to the ways of the angler. This book is a guide to unlock many of the mysteries of back country trout fishing and suggests ways to take those difficult fish. This is a book not just for dedicated trout fishermen and women but also a book for those who just like to dream. This book has proved to be very popular as a take home coffee table book for New Zealand and overseas anglers alike.
