Based at Mavora Lakes saw 4 great days of fishing. One on the upper Oreti with fish sitting in riffles and taking either h&c nymphs or off the surface with Para Adams. One day in upper Mararoa with fish willing to come to surface and take black nats and similar terrestials, one day up in Windon with good fishing and again terrestial going well with good fish action. Last day on Oreti but lower down and a bit harder with cloud cover making spotting difficult but good fish found in backwaters and could be tempted to come to the surface with small dry’s. All in all a great Safari trip for some good end of March fishing.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciated everything you did to make my fishing trip unforgettable. That trophy brown was totally unbelievable! Frankly, I’m surprised we were able to land him. That was one of the longest fights I’ve ever had with a fish. Fighting that trout and the river current was a whole new experience for me. Your advice and help were invaluable. I will definitely call you the next time I get to New Zealand. And I really enjoyed your website article and photo. Thanks again for putting me in position to catch the fish of a lifetime. And it was almost a few fish of a lifetime. All in all…brilliant!!!
