The Australian Fisherman's Companion

The Australian Fisherman's Companion is a handbook like no other. All 240 species common to Australian waters, listed here, have been grouped into ten easy-to-follow sections. The author, Harold Vaughan, loved to fish as a young boy. He later became an avid amateur fisherman and, for 50 years, accumulated a detailed knowledge of fishing in Australian waters.

In this book, he presents an easy-to-follow manual that is a complete guide to 240 species of Australian fish. Each fish is clearly identified with a colour photo and exact descriptions, details on habitat, advice on rigging and baiting, and suitability for eating.

Inside you will find a number of ways to rig your line. Each rig is numbered and coordinated with the identification section. The book includes:

• Useful knots
• Fish without Scales
• Flat Fish
• Fish with a Concave Tail Fin
• Fish with a Moderate Fork
• Molluscs, Crustaceans and other Invertebrates

The book is designed to be flexible and easy to carry, and with its PVC jacket, it makes a convenient companion for fishing trips.
