About

As every experienced fisherman knows, there is much more to catching salmon than just chucking in some ironmongery and chancing it. Those who know their tackle, know their rivers and river-mouths, and above all know the habits of their quarry, catch by far the most fish.

Ross Millichamp is a field officer with Fish and Game North Canterbury, a position he has held for the past six years. Management of the salmon resource of the North Canterbury region is one of his principal areas of responsibility. Ross has been fishing for salmon since he was ten years old, and he attributes his success not to luck, but to knowledge and good planning. Now, in Salmon Fever, he shares the secrets of that success in a comprehensive and highly readable guide to every aspect of the sport of salmon fishing.

If you prefer to fish the surf or the gut, or you are an upriver angler, you will find useful advice on using different techniques and the latest in tackle. The author covers lure fishing and bait fishing and includes an analysis of al the major South Island salmon fishing rivers - as well as some practical advice on preserving all those salmon you are going to catch by smoking, bottling or canning.

Extremely well written, with great full-color photographs throughout, Salmon Fever is destined to become the bible for all salmon-fishing enthusiasts, with practical advice that will benefit beginner and experienced angler alike.

About the Author:

Ross Millichamp is a field officer with Fish and Game North Canterbury, a position he has held for the past six years. Born in Timaru in 1964, he spent most of his early years in the North Island, before moving back to Christchurch when he was eight. His salmon fishing career started two years later under the guidance of his father Roger and his grandfather Ted, who is something of a salmon fishing icon in Canterbury. Ross has been salmon fishing ever since and now has more than 20 seasons to his credit.

After finishing secondary school, Ross attended the University of Canterbury, completing a Bachelor of Science and Post-Graduate Diploma of Science, majoring in zoology. He spent the next two summers working at The Complete Angler, a well-known fishing tackle shop in Christchurch, before seeking a job in the 'real world.' His next position was as the assistant manager of the Kaitangata salmon hatchery on the lower Clutha River. After three years in the deep south Ross moved back to Christchurch to take up his current position with Fish and Game, where management of the salmon resource of the North Canterbury region is one of his principal areas of responsibility.

Ross has been contributing articles to fishing magazines for nearly 10 years, in addition to producing a number of Fish and Game publications. He is currently an associate editor with New Zealand Fisherman magazine. Salmon Fever is Ross's first book.
