In every coastal town in Australia, there's a bait shop and a boat ramp,
and, in garages around the country, fishing rods are strung up waiting for their
next outing. Many of us have a special fishing spot, and families pass on tips
from generation to generation and exchange fishy tales of amazing catches and
near misses.
Bringing her personal passion for throwing in a line, author Anna Clark celebrates
the enduring pleasure of fishing in The
Catch: The Story of Fishing in Australia . This book charts the history of
fishing, from the first known accounts of Indigenous fishing and early European
encounters with Australia's waters, to the latest fishing fads; from the introduction
of trout and fly fishing to the challenges of balancing needs of commercial and
recreational fishers. "I just couldn't put it down ... my best fishing read to date" ~ Rob Paxevanos, host of Fishing Australia (TV)
