The Books

new graphic‘Fishing Even Smarter
My first book – ‘Fishing Smarter, The Thinking Fisherman’s Guide To Saltwater Fishing In New Zealand’ was reprinted at least once every year since first publication in 1997, and was still going strong till it was replaced in November 2005.
Fishing Smarter is completely rewritten as ‘Fishing Even Smarter’, which has over 50% more pages, with all new, clear diagrams and illustrations.

‘Starting Smarter – Fishing for Trout
My latest trout fishing book, aimed squarely at fishermen new to the sport. It is written in a clear way, devoid of jargon, and should help you to start and catch fish quickly.

‘Fishing -Starting Smarter’
A book designed to get the new fisherman catching fish as soon as possible. Aimed at the new saltwater Fisherman.

‘Tips & Tricks to Catch More Fish
The third book, and back to salt water fishing. The title says it all.

Fishing Smarter for Trout
A book in which I have tried very hard to avoid much of the jargon and downright dogma that pervades too many fly fishing books.
