Rod Harrison's Barra

BARRA is the culmination of Rod Harrison's passion for barramundi. It is the definitive book on Australia's premier and world-renowned sporthsh. In his incisive yet laid back trademark style, Harro reveals everything that you want to know about barramundi and fishing for them.

Starting with a background on barramundi biology and distribution, Harro follows-on detailed technical information on where in Australia they are found, the techniques and tackle to use—everything that you need to know to catch them. Generously punctuated with revealing photography and detailed illustrations by Trevor Hawkins BARRA is an authoritative reference work and a necessity for anyone who dreams of catching this elusive sportfish.

Rod Harrison started catching and writing about banamundi when they were still known as Palmer perch. Since then he has fished for barra—and their close relatives such as Nile perch, snook and others—throughout their distribution around the world. Harro has cast lures and flies in countless tidal estuaries, rivers and lakes and caught massive numbers of fish—many of them trophy-sized.

Along the way Harro has been on the cutting edge in the development and refinement of lures, flies, lines and rigs, and has always been a leader in new techniques and rodwork. To share his knowledge he has written several books, countless magazine articles and is known as one to never mince words—he is always to the point. Harro is as much an icon as the fish that he knows and loves so well.
