A Walk Upstream
DOUGAL RILLSTONE'S new book "Upstream on the Mataura" is a wonderful read, meditative in approach but filled with the details that make books about journeys so compelling. The journey in this case is Rillstone's 240-kilometre walk upstream from the coast at Fortrose, New Zealand to the source of the Mataura River, in the Eyre Mountains. In the course of his trip and telling of events, Rillstone reveals the river as one of the finest dry-fly streams for brown trout on the planet. We're happy to share the first chapter with you this week.
