Synopsis & Historical Value
Published in 2010 by the Federation of Southern African Flyfishers, The FOSAF Guide to Fly-Fishing Destinations in Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean was compiled to encourage anglers to explore the fly-fishing opportunities of the region. It follows the earlier Nedbank Guides and is edited by Louis Wolhuter.
The guide covers the principal target species, including trout, yellowfishes, basses and tigerfish, and carries regional reports on freshwater and saltwater venues. Maps, hot spots, tackle and technique advice and tips on reading water make it as useful on the bank as in the armchair.
This copy carries a presentation inscription from the FOSAF Chairman dated Dunkeld, 22 February 2016, adding a personal link to the federation behind the book. It will appeal to fly-fishing enthusiasts and collectors of Africana outdoor literature.
