Upstream in a Dream Book

Short summary

Upstream in a Dream is a new book of beautifully written fly-fishing essays by Ocean Grove local Hamish Brooks, who some might know as the son of Driftwater guide Peter Brooks and stepson of Australian Ladies Fly Fishing Team captain Karen Brooks.

The emotions of fatherhood, family and the passing of time take on the poetic cadence of fly-fishing in the essays, which invite reflection on the natural world and human nature.

The book features lovely writing about fly-fishing in local waters in southwestern Victoria and those further afield, and is a great option for fly-fishers, water lovers and lovers of nature writing alike.
