Wow, the mountains are fat with snow and the rain over the last 2 days has been insane. Many rivers around the whole country have been in spate with floods of what we would normally see more in Spring.
River levels have peaked down South now and the temps are dropping so futher qucik falling is on the cards. Looks like the wil be a high starting to take influence this coming week but I think we will still see some bumps being thrown up. However it is on the cards that there will be some good fishing for the last week or so of our Southern fly fishing season.
It looks like things are going to be picking up up north with spawning runs starting and this cold wet weather won’t have down any harm but will have picked the pace up for early season runners out of some of the lakes.
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!!!
