In our landmark 100th edition, celebrating 25 years, we reflect on changes in climate, saltwater fly fishing evolution, NZ's famous Mataura River and the heart of Tasmania's Western Lakes. We look ahead to possibilities on the rivers of the Snowies, chasing natives in NSW's New England area, on classic Victorian High Country streams and journey as far as the iconic Gibb River road in WA. We even get stuck in Socotra COVID-19 mayhem in the Middle East and still catch fish. We get scientific about retrieve strategies for the millennium, explore the health of our waterways through water bugs and consider the cerebral therapeutic value of our sport.
