Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Dougal Rillstone was born in Gore, close to the Mataura River, over seventy years ago. The river was both swimming pool and playground during his childhood. One summers evening, while he stood chest deep in a long pool, facing downstream towards the fading light, he became mesmerised by the si…ght of rippling rings left by rising trout on the otherwise smooth surface. He has been haunted by moving water ever since.In Upstream on the Mataura, Dougal has captured the essence of his lifelong connection with the Mataura River. While angling, and fly-fishing in particular, anchor his attachment, the book is as much a meditation on landscape and moving water as it is about angling. It is also about the communities the river runs through, the friendships sustained by fly-fishing, and a love of the river and its tributaries.The first section of the book offers a clear-eyed view of the beauty, challenges and hardship involved in his 240-kilometre walk upstream from the coast at Fortrose to the source of the river, in the Eyre Mountains. Following are twelve stories that traverse his connection with the river, from his earliest recollections through to the present time. In Upstream on the Mataura, Dougal has captured the essence of his lifelong connection with the Mataura River. The book is as much a meditation on landscape and moving water as it is about angling.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. A very good clean copy. In this beautifully written memoir, Dougal Rillstone celebrates a lifetime spent beside Southland's Mataura River, one of the world's finest brown trout fisheries. Combining travel writing, personal reflection and natural history, he recounts his 240-kilometre journey on fo…ot from the river's mouth at Fortrose to its source in the Eyre Mountains. Along the way, he reflects on childhood memories, fly-fishing, friendships, the communities that line the river and the changing health of the Mataura itself. More than a book about angling, it is a thoughtful meditation on landscape, memory and the deep bond between people and place, as well as a passionate plea for the protection of New Zealand's rivers.
