Fish Identification & Knots Books

[Ricardo]

I have been looking around for a fish encyclopedia or something similar which covers Australian species of fish (salt & fresh) so I can educate myself on what's out there in this great country of ours ;)

Also is there a book of fishing knots that is considered the holy grail of knots? :)

Cheers
Richard.

G'Day Mate,

Grants Guide to Fishes would be considered the holy grail of (Aust) fish encyclopedias I suspect. Happy reading!
