I have been lucky enough to go to New Zealand to fly fish on three separate occasions. New Zealand is an amazing country that is magnificently beautiful! The people are kind and the fishing is good old fashioned hunting and stalking of big trout.
When you go be prepared to be humbled. The fish are smart and sometimes very wary. The wind can flat out kick your butt somedays, but with patients, stealthiness, and some smarts you will likely hook in to the trout of your dreams.
To help you accomplish all of this there is no better guide on the South Island then Chris Dore. http://www.chrisdore.com/flyfishing.htm Chris has been fishing the waters in Southland for many years and he knows exactly where to go no matter what the weather. His personality is infectious and his determination to get you on fish is relentless. Montana Troutaholics gives Chris our highest recommendation.
Now is the time to be in the Southern Hemisphere my friends so do yourself a favor and book that trip now to New Zealand and fish with Chris Dore. I guarantee you will not regret it!
