New Zealand's claim to fame is the size
of trout to be caught in gin-clear waters. The name of
the game is to spot the trout, choose an approach and cast to the
visible fish, presenting them with dry flies and nymphs. Let me tell
you, it is very adrenaline pumping exciting stuff to cast to these
sighted monsters weighing anywhere from 2 to above 10 pounds. As you
see in the video to the left, it can be quite simple or quite
difficult to spot trout, some of the fish would not be seen if
not for the right angle looking into the water. Good guides will
take strides to gain the right angle to look into "windows" and
avoid glare in order to spot trout while you prepare to work the
spotted fish. New Zealand has a world-renowned wild trout fishery and the emphasis is on quality rather than quantity. Certainly there are trophy fish, but there is usually a very good reason that these fish get so big! Experienced guides know where the fishing is best, know the moods of local waters and the weather, often have access arrangements and will provide transport. They can help you adjust your technique to the different conditions, in order to take maximum advantage of the ever-changing conditions. It has taken guides many thousands of hours to find the best waters and methods that can help to make you successful. |
