New Zealand is one of the “hot” fly-fishing spots in the world today, known for brilliant, crystal clear rivers. Zane Grey’s account of his adventure in New Zealand conjures up images of huge and
mythic trout. In Tales of the Angler’s Eldorado, he describes fishing these now legendary streams as well as his pursuit of huge swordfish off the coast of the New Zealand shores. It’s both
a fishing story and adventure story from one of America’s favorite storytellers.
“There is always something wonderful about a new fishing adventure trip—for a single day, or for a week, or for months. The enchantment never palls…Fishing is like Jason’s quest for the Golden
Fleece.”—Zane Grey, from Tales of the Angler’s Eldorado, New Zealand
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Grey is very curious and a good observer. He is an excellent storyteller, and this book, my first encounter with his books, is a bloody good read.” —Fish and Fly (UK)
“Though he made his bread and butter by spinning yarns about the plains of the Old West, Grey’s true passion was water. He had an almost fanatical love of fishing, spending as many as 300 days a year roaming the seas with a rod in his hand in pursuit of everything and anything that would swallow a hook….[Tales of the Angler’s Eldorado, New Zealand] contain[s] some of Grey’s best fishing stories culled from a lifetime of pursuing the leviathans of the deep.” —Library Journal
Zane Grey® (1872–1939), born in Ohio, was practicing dentistry in New York when he and his wife published his first novel. Grey presented the West as a moral battleground in which his
characters are destroyed because of their inability to change or are redeemed through a final confrontation with their past. The man whose name is synonymous with Westerns made his first trip west
in 1907 at age thirty-five. More than 130 films have been based on his work.
