New Zealand Cycle Trail Project:

The Wakatipu Trail (Queenstown)


There is a plan (red arrow - Q7 above) to create a Cycle Trail that goes down the Oreti River, through the valley where the "walk only zone" is located for fishing in a pristine natural environment, with beautiful secluded surroundings for what is often large wary trout.

For fishermen that fish this area, it is considered unique, and has many values of the back country, and one of very few that can be found within easy reach of most people in Southland.

If you fish that area and have any views to possible effects on the fishing and aesthetics of the area, then have your say and contact Fish & Game to put your views and thoughts forward (more)... also read the May 2010 edition of the "Ripples"

About Manic Tackle Project

Manic Tackle Project has been established because we love fly fishing and we
wanted to create a business that we would enjoy working in and would benefit
the people around us. We're lucky to have a great group of friends in the
tackle industry, both retailers and suppliers. There is no question that
Manic couldn't have happened without these friendships and for that we're
extremely grateful.

Our simple goal here at Manic is to design and distribute cool products and
teach people everything we can about fly fishing. We've created this
website so you can check out the products we are selling in our products
pages and even look at the products we're working on in our Manic Blog. More
than anything we believe that if you're keen enough as an angler to be
reading our website then we want to hear from you so feel free to drop us an
e-mail or better still log in and post a comment on our blog or photo in our
galleries.
