"Waikaremoana: The Jewel of the Ureweras"

by John Giacon

"Waikaremoana: The Jewel of the Ureweras" by John Giacon, is a valuable addition to anglers library. It describes the wonder of this beautiful fishing region that master angler John Giacon (as well as thousands of anglers from around the world) regard as "a stillwater flyfishing paradise". Never before has this great water been described in such loving detail from a fisherman's perspective.

Set amongst the magnificent backdrop of some of the most wonderful environmental conditions in the world the region offers the opportunity to sight fish for both brown and rainbow trout in gin clear waters surrounded by native bush and native birds. Lake Waikaremoana is truly a stillwater angler’s paradise.

Waikaremoana

“Waikaremoana: A Stillwater Flyfisher’s Paradise” is set in New Zealand’s biggest native forested National Park which contains a treasure of flora and fauna, trout of course being one of them.

Lake Waikaremoana has a plethora of spectacularly beautiful scenery that displays the much vaunted ‘clean green’ image of New Zealand. Throughout the book the location is as important as the fishing.

About the book

Described as "an account of a 30 year love affair between a pantheon of anglers and possibly New Zealand's finest still water fishery", this book is about flyfishing and specifically about stillwater flyfishing, a side of the sport that has seldom been written about in such detail. The book has 120 colour photos spread over its 220 pages as well as a collection of Bird-Art prints by gifted artist Joyce Griffin

There is serious attention given to the impprtant questions of "how to" – "where to" – "when to" – "what to" aspects of the still water fishing providing guide lines for would be angling visitors. It is amongst the first published works that describes the Lake Waikaremoana fishery in such detail.

This is a stillwater flyfishing book set amongst a magnificent backdrop of some of the most wonderful environmental conditions in the world that creates the opportunity to sight fish for both brown and rainbow trout in gin clear waters surrounded by native bush and native birds – the description ‘A Stillwater Flyfisher’s Paradise” is very apt.

Feedback about the book

"John Giacon's book draws upon his many years experience as a top class angler making "Waikaremoana" a book that will be invlauable to anyone looking to master this or other still waters around the country. Beautifully illustrated with both original artwork and many photos, Waikaremoana shows this magnificent wilderness fishery at its best by a man who knows it better than most and brings his passion for the region to life.

This is a book I would recommend to any serious angler as a valuable addition to their library"

Doug Stevens: nzfishing.com

In John Giacon's words "My new book spans 30 years of my life as a flyfisher. It is a non-fiction account of my own and a group of New Zealand’s top flyfishers who have succumbed to the paradise that is Waikaremoana. Although a book about flyfishing, it is far more than that. It is also a testament to the region of our country that is aptly called the “Jewel of the Ureweras”.
