A Taupo Season: A Bedside Book for Trout Fisherman By John Parsons.

Publisher: Collins, Auckland, 1979, FIRST EDITION. Very good hardback with jacket, no inscriptions. Jacket has minor edgewear, fading to spine. 227 pages with photos.

"Eighty-five well-written pieces on almost as many trout fishing topics - great fishing personalities, the restoration of lakes, tackle catalogues, sublunary and astrology as debatable factors in success, the improvement of casting techniques, the wickedness of willows, taxidermy, trout psychology, fishermen's lib, local and international fishing literature - the list goes on. Written and set mostly in the Lake Taupo area. "This is a fireside, bedside book for those men and women who love to fish for trout, who love to read of fishing for trout, who love to think and talk of fishing for trout, and who habitually ponder the innumerable facets of fishing for trout. .Though intended as a book to be dipped into for relaxed reading, much of it gives food for serious thought."
