Getaway Guide to Fly-Fishing in South Africa – tips, tactics and techniques to help to catch more trout
In Nigel’s own words, the aim of this book is to provide ‘a simple, no-nonsense, nuts and bolts guide to help you catch more trout’. A rationalized approach to fly selection is suggested drawing on the latest American and European innovations - to offer a core of highly effective contemporary patterns. The main emphasis of the book however, is on trout location and fly presentation, in both still waters and rivers – the very essence of successful fly-fishing in South Africa. Other topics include troubleshooting casting faults, float tubing tactics and advanced techniques for catching highly educated fish. Although aimed primarily at the intermediate angler with at least some fly-fishing experience, the easy style makes the book accessible to the novice, and even the experienced angler will find fresh and effective ideas in this guide, Lavishly illustrated with images by Nigel and Wendy Dennis.

Getaway Guide to Wildlife Photography
Based on 20 years of traveling through southern Africa’s finest game reserves the author imparts much of his hard earned wisdom in a straightforward way that simplifies the technical complexities of wild life photography. With both digital and film media the art of making a picture come alive lies in its composition and lighting. Nigel shows the reader how to recognize ‘golden light’ as well as valuable advice on how to greatly improve the appearance of a photograph in other less than ideal lighting situations. Even the more complex aspects of photography such as selecting the appropriate aperture and shutter speed, making exposure compensations, and fill flash techniques are explained in clear simple terms. Apart from the invaluable photographic advice offered the author shares South Africa’s best-kept wildlife secrets: where to go to photograph wildlife, the best time of year to visit, and the game species you are most likely to find as subjects in each reserve.
