I’ve been out guiding fly fishing again over the last few days and have been targeting the rocky riffles of Northern Southland streams. As the day goes on the fish having been moving into these lovely little spots and feeding on a emerging mayfly. The sport has been good if you can find the older and more established looking riffles that have not been turned over by floods or had clean gravel or sand build up in them.
New Zealand Fly Fishing Expeditions - release
The weather has continued in the usual spring like fashion with plenty of wind around and frontal flicks every couple of days delivering a bit of rain (and snow). The weather looks pretty good at the beginning of next week so the fly fishing should be good.
Here’s a quick clip from the opening weekend:
Make sure to book your guided fly fishing trip with me to maximise your time, fun and learning.
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!!!
