Upstream on the Mataura: A Fly Fisher's Journey to Source - Softcover

Upstream on the Mataura

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. A very good clean copy. In this beautifully written memoir, Dougal Rillstone celebrates a lifetime spent beside Southland's Mataura River, one of the world's finest brown trout fisheries. Combining travel writing, personal reflection and natural history, he recounts his 240-kilometre journey on foot from the river's mouth at Fortrose to its source in the Eyre Mountains. Along the way, he reflects on childhood memories, fly-fishing, friendships, the communities that line the river and the changing health of the Mataura itself. More than a book about angling, it is a thoughtful meditation on landscape, memory and the deep bond between people and place, as well as a passionate plea for the protection of New Zealand's rivers.
