New Zealand Season Review - Another Great Season

We have just finished our 6th season in Southland and Otago.

After some very big floods over Winter the rivers were in great condition when we arrived in November. October was tough and there was very little fishing pressure so November fished well. The Browns were in fantastic condition and any water near Beech forests contained mice feeders. We had a great fish below Te Anau hooking fat Rainbows up to 7lb.

We used a Jet Boat on the Waiau which enabled us to access some great water. December was very wet which gave us good water levels through summer. February had good Cicada fishing and the Mayfly fishing improved. March gave us fantastic fishing on the Mataura with wonderful hatches every afternoon.

This continued into April with the best fishing we have had in years.

We cater for all standards of Anglers and all guides are accredited FFF Casting Instructors.

We cant wait to get back for next season and if you or a group of friends are keen on a South Island adventure get in touch with us and we will send you out more details.

Cheers and good fishing,

Murray
