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"

Rise Film Festival - 2010 - Invercargill

What ever you do, don't miss this fly fishing film evening, tell your mates.

Criss crossing the globe, RISE - Fly Fishing Film Festival 2010 showcases a variety of stunning movies from Broome, New Zealand, Mexico, California and Iceland. Gin-Clear Media's The Source - New Zealand is the feature movie of the festival. Part of a series, The Source exposes the best fly fishing destinations from around the world. Nick Reygaert, The Source - New Zealand's director, says, "New Zealand offers a seemingly limitless amount of variety for fly fishers yet each person enjoys and values the fishery in their own unique way. With The Source - New Zealand we set out to capture those special moments that define a fishing trip and through these get a glimpse of what the Kiwi experience means to each of the featured anglers. For some, it means casting size 18 emergers to delirious brown trout during a blanket hatch, for others it's the triumph of catching a 10lb + fish on a dry fly, for others it's a jet boat ride into a remote fiord!"

2010 Fly Fishing Course

 

Held - 13/14th Feb 2010

This years course was again very successful, weather played its part, being fine, sunny and warm on Sunday morning.

The weather turned in the afternoon and became windy.  This did not dampen the spirits of the class, and although only a couple of fish were caught in the afternoon, everyone seemed to be very happy with the whole weekend.
