21 GREAT NEW ZEALAND TROUT WATERS

'Have Rod, Will Travel! "Cast toward the croc, Bill." Geoff Hawkins and I were fishing Lower Trepang Creek out of Seven Spirit Lodge on the Cobourg Peninsula of Australia's Northern Territory. The 6-foot crocodile was half-exposed, basking in the shallows just above the deep run that I wanted to probe with a fly for barramundi. Geoff handed me his spinning rod, and I made a forlorn effort. Then it was on! Not a fish--the croc! Covering about 10 feet with incredible speed, the reptile had pounced on the popper. Hooked in the side of the mouth, it was motionless, head held high, statue-like. "So what the hell do I do now'"

From the bonefishing flats on the Pacific nuclear weapons' proving ground, Bikini Atoll, to the taimen rivers of Outer Mongolia, anthropologist Bill Douglss is the consummate angling adventurer.

In this hilarious and well-informed book, Douglass pursues the Argentine dorado, tucunare in the Brazilian Amazon, New Zealand's fabled brown trout and the sublime steelhead of British Columbia. Along the way he waltzes with Alaskan bears, wades with piranhas and marvels over the foibles of several critters of the two-legged variety.

While penetrating exotic angling destinations on 5 continents and many islands, Douglass ponders the ultimate angling frontier--the many dilemmas confronting catch-and-release sport fishermen of the new millennium. Join him for the armchair read of a lifetime and be thankful you are sharing the experience at a considerable distance.
