Produktinformationen zu „Of Rivers and Rises (ePub)“
The is book is written in appreciation of the many joys and quiet contentment that I have found in my
wanderings by river and lake.
These words were penned by the legendary Australian author David Scholes.
It would be hard to find a better way to introduce a collection of fi shing adventures, because fi fty years
of waving the slender rod have given me abundant pleasure, copious exercise both physically and mentally,
wonderful & lasting friendships and the enjoyment of being at one with nature.
On refl ection, it seems that centuries ago a good friend and skilled fl y fi sherman introduced me to what
became a pastime, perhaps an art, certainly a physical exercise, a method of spending the family fortune and
a lifelong pleasure. We were privileged in those days to enjoy accommodation in the heart of some of the
fi nest trout streams in Australia, as the Red Shack stood alongside Pollocks Creek at Kiandra.
Oddly, it was also known as the Poachers hut, odd because the keenly enthusiastic users were exactly
the opposite, with the tongue-in-cheek motto there are no rules and dont you dare break them.
Since those early days I have fi shed in many countries and all the states of Australia and although the
body ages the enthusiasm does not.
I hope you enjoy the ramblings in the following chapters and perhaps disagree or otherwise with some
of the theories within.

Autoren-Porträt von Les Hawkins
Having been involved in fly fishing for over fifty years and an author of four previous books, Les Hawkins admits he knows a lot about trout fishing but speculates constantly about the behavior of trout.In his latest book, he reminisces about fishing and fishing trips, puts forward thoughts and ideas, includes few fishing tips, and invites the reader to debate his theories.
He is a life member of Greenwell's Fly Fishing Club and a life member of the Commercial Club Fishing Club, having served terms of president in both. He was secretary of Recfish Australia for nine years and president of the Australian Freshwater Fishermen's Assembly during its operational years.
In conjunction with the Continuing Education Centre (now TAFE) and Greenwell's Club, he taught fly fishing for twenty-five years.
Married with four children, eleven grandchildren, and thirteen great-grandchildren, he resides in Albury-Wodonga, right close to all the great fly fishing areas. He is a justice of peace and well and truly retired, which allows ample time for fishing and his passion for dressing trout flies.
His previous books include the following
. Basic Flyfishing (1993)
. Trouting Tales (1996)
. Basic Flyfishing Revised Edition (2003)
. Great Australian Fly-fishing Stories (2006) published on 2 X CD in 2007
