New Books: In Season: Tasmania

Yesterday we received an air mail package from Australia containing a copy of In Season: Tasmania (HtwoMedia, 120 pages), a beautiful book about fly fishing on that island. The book was originally released as a hardcover in 2007, but the softcover version we received is one of the most attractive pieces of print we’ve seen in months. The book is very cleverly laid out, divided by chapter into seasons and the experiences that an angler is likely to have during any given month. It’s the brainchild of fly fishing guide Daniel Hackett and professional photographer Brad Harris, who spent months chronicling their encounters with the waters, insects and fish of Tasmania. For more info, check out the InSeasonFlyFishing.com Web site. (There are also a couple of these softcover editions available from resellers on Amazon, but I doubt they’ll be around long.)
