Taggerty.

The Australian fishing manual : with hints on camping / by Taggerty. (Melbourne : Reviews Pty. Ltd., [1929])

“Taggerty” was the pen-name of J. E. Pyke, a cricketer and journalist, who was the editor of the Victorian Fly-fisher’s Association Newsletter. He begins his book with “What the old angler told the author”,

The best angler is never COMPLETE. He has an open mind and open eyes. He is not dogmatic about his own theories, because he must often have seen them confounded. He is still, no matter what his years, in the stage of finding out things. He is old enough – in temperament – to be a thorough sportsman; and young enough to learn and like to learn. (p. 8)
