"Year 2000 limited edition." Good well-illustrated articles on Snowy Mountain and New Zealand trout fishing, flyfishing for sailfish, blue sharks and barramundi and a whole lot more. For this edition the publishers have dropped the words Australian and New Zealand from the title intending to "...broaden the scope of the annual so articles from writers around the world, as well as from Australia and New Zealand, can be included where they address issues of great interest to flyfishers."
