In this issue, we wade into contrasting waters—from the mineral-rich flows of Eight Mile Creek in the Snowies, to the layered textures of art and angling in tropical Mackay. A tenkara convert questions old assumptions, while a closer look at dropper rigs reveals fresh insights into effective river setups. Victoria’s Ovens River emerges as cod country with a gentle edge, while the golden trevally shimmers on Australia’s northern flats in a tribute to one of our most iconic saltwater targets.
Salt and sweetwater adventures continue to collide—up north, the tropical mix of species delivers a saltwater quartet worth connecting with, while the dark waterways of West Papua hide the explosive strength of black and spot-tail bass. Abroad, chrome dreams are realised on Scotland’s River Tay, offering classic salmon fishing with an old-world feel.
