A Guiding Life

Hi all,

As many of you will know by now, I have retired from guiding due to the onset of peripheral neuropathy and, after almost three decades, sold Red Tag Trout Tours to Ray Curran in July 2023.

That left a rather large hole in my daily life after the end of the 2022/23 trout season, but a huge number of valued memories of great days on the water with many of you, together with literally thousands of much treasured images.

Before the end of my guiding time, I had been thinking about putting to paper some of those memories, along with the ‘off-water’ experiences we shared and/or flowed from our times together.

I am pleased to advise that after talking to many of you along the journey, all contacted have been enthusiastically supportive, my memoirs are now completed and printed. On the Fly in Tasmania – A Guiding Life

With my publisher, Fred Baker’s, much-appreciated assistance and support, the first print run is now to hand.

Your story may well feature in it. Let me know if you would like a copy with your postal address to send off. I will then let you have my bank details for EFT payment.

RRP is $29.95 plus $9.00 (P & H) = $38.95 for one copy.
$59.90 plus $10.50 (P & H) = $70.40 for two copies.

Also available from The Fishing Connection – Spot On – Hobart Ph (03) 6234 4880 The Fisherman’s Shed – Kingston – Ph (03) 6227 2345

Thank you all for these treasured memories, and best wishes for the future.

Cheers and season’s greetings,
Roger Butler
