About The Author
Greg French
As a teenager in the late 1970s, Greg French fell in love with the highland moors and stunted forests of Tasmania’s Western Lakes wilderness. He was the first person to systematically document trout and their behaviour in the region’s myriad waterways, and his guidebooks have become legendary. In the early 1990s, after co-writing the first Trout Fishery Management Plan for the Western Lakes, Greg went on to work as the area’s summertime track ranger. To give his writing gravitas, he travelled the globe, chronicling the conservation problems that beset the world’s most renowned trout and salmon waters. His collections of short stories, including Frog Call, The Imperiled Cutthroat and The Last Wild Trout, have become much-loved classics.
