Philip Weigall looks back over thirty years of fishing in all seasons in Australia and New Zealand. Some of these tales have been previously published in his magazine columns.
It's a sad fact of fly-fishing that there is no prescriptive manual for ensuring success. It is an activity that defies simple evaluation, with enough variables to leave even the 'experts' scratching their heads from time to time. For example, why is it that a trout will respond to a certain fly one day, but ignore it entirely in identical conditions on another day? Acclaimed fly-fishing author Philip Weigall attempts to answer this question and many more in this engaging book. In his words, it is a book of 'fly-fishing truths', a collection of techniques, ideas, concepts, knowledge and equipment that, to the best of his objective observations over many decades spent with a rod in hand, honestly seem to matter when it comes to catching trout.

Cherry is like no one Jack has ever met. Yet she is very much like him. From their first encounter they are united by their similarities, yet divided by geography. Their distance allows them to explore one another in a way physical closeness never could.
Written by one of Australia's foremost flyfishing authors, Fishing Season is a celebration of this wonderful sport. Philip Weigall deftly captures all that makes flyfishing a passion for so many.

So join Philip as he takes you through a year in the life of a flyfisher and ponders such important questions as why you invariably never have the right fly at the right time, how you only ever lose new pieces of equipment, and why sometimes the unlikeliest waters have the most to offer.
