ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Paperback, 1994). 1994 1st edition. 4to paperback (210 x 281mm). Pp72. Colour and b/w photographs. Minor faults/ faded spine else a very good second-hand paperback. This is "a book about barramundi fishing and Australia's wild tropical north. .The giant perch or barramundi, Lates calcarifer, is undoubtedly Australia's most popular sport and food fish". Barramundi are a close relation of the Nile Perch, which it resembles. They are very widely distributed in Australia, the East Indies and the Indian Ocean, in both fresh and salt water. Over-exploitation has endangered the species nearly everywhere. The exception is Australia's Northern Territory, where the Barramundi Management Plan has allowed a rapid resurgence of the species with long-term security for both commercial fishermen and anglers. This book shows in detail where to go, when, and what to do when you get there. Rivers, billabongs and estuaries are covered. A chapter is also included which deals with other species of fighting fish. A frightening amount of the text explains how to avoid being eaten by crocodiles which have benefited from their own, highly successful management plan. Chapters include: The barramundi and its environment; The tropical seasons; Barra tackle; Barra lures; Live bait; Fishing for barra; Boats and motors; Fly in places; Tropical freshwater fighting fish; Tides (26ft/8m in range in many places); Crocodiles; The tropic adventure; The rewards.

Colour photographs, illustrations, bibliography. Slight shelf-wear but a fine new copy. Mostly based on the author's experiences of Tasmanian trout fishing. "The aim of this book is to help the sporting angler find feeding trout. Tony Ritchie follows the principle that an understanding of the factors influencing the feeding and survival of trout will enable the angler to target potential fishing spots. .Particular emphasis is given to the brown trout, to fishing a fly to moving trout and to the use of the dry fly by a wading angler on moving water. Chapters covering the feeding habits of trout and the external factors that influence them provide an insight into why trout behave as they do. Some of the major topics covered include an explanation of the influence of drift, flies, terrestrial creatures, frogs, snails and scud. Also discussed is the effect of the presence of other fish, as well as changes in temperature and oxygen levels." .
