Description

Fishing involves way more than throwing a line and catching a fish - or a boot. Nature and camping, peace and quiet are all part of the magic. There's the challenge of landing the fish and the satisfaction of eating a fresh fish you've caught yourself. But fishing can also mean seeing your dad differently, or learning how to pitch a tent, or spending rare time away in the wilderness.Most Australians have had a go at some stage. We do it in ponds, creeks, great rivers, the deep sea. Some fall under the spell of the chase, some spend a lifetime trying to tie the perfect fly, some just like sitting on the pier for a few hours. These are the stories of the fishing adventures and misadventures of amateurs and pros, one-time anglers, families and friends, in the stunning landscape of Australia.
