By the author of "Trout At Taupo". "A companion volume rather than a sequel". "To many fishermen in many lands, the word 'Taupo' means 'trout'. Every year thousands of rods fish the great lake and its lovely tributaries in the heart of the North Island of New Zealand. They take from these waters annually about a quarter of a million fish - fighting fish of a quality that has to be experienced to be believed - of an average weight of about five pounds. For the envious angler at a costly distance, the next best thing to fishing at Taupo is to read about it and to share some of the experiences of an author who has been a regular Taupo fisherman for forty years".
