Last Wild Trout

Description

The Last Wild Trout is an entertaining and intrepid adventure seeking out the last truly wild trout fisheries around the world. Casting his line in 20 far-flung locations, Greg takes in Tasmania, New Zealand, Iceland, the British Isles, Mongolia, Slovenia, British Columbia, Wyoming, California, Patagonia, Nevada, Alaska and Hokkaido all in search of the species that can still be called wild trout. Each chapter in this evocative and beautifully-illustrated book focuses on one species or subspecies of trout, and includes a compelling human narrative in Greg's gregarious and inimitable style. With the deft touch of an expert fisher, Greg beautifully balances the scientific with the personal, the practical with reverie, and the conservation with travel narrative.

Greg French is one of Australia's best known fishing identities. He contributes regularly to magazines such as FlyLife and while he spends most of his time in Australia and New Zealand, he does also travel the world. His best known work is Trout Waters of Tasmania. Greg has also released a literary nonfiction title, Frog Call, which was received equally well by anglers and non-anglers alike. French has also worked with Gin-Clear Media, co-writing and narrating fly fishing documentaries.
