A TAUPO FISHING DIARY. By Alex Gillett. Illustrated by Jane Perry.
(1981) 1995 2nd edition. 4to paperback (182 x 248mm). Pp159. Colour illustrations throughout by Jane Perry, maps. Green card covers.
A handsome and attractively illustrated journal of Taupo trout fishing. "...the book told in diary form with peripheral colour paintings, of a year in the life of a highly observant angler and his wife; of their domestic pets and other friends, their garden, local flora and fauna, local characters, legends of the lake and hunting in its mountain surroundings. While trout fishing is the basic focus for both prose and illustrations, there is much to delight those not afflicted by the virus and this, almost certainly, continues to be the secret of its popularity."
