New Zealand Hosted Fly Fishing Week 2

Week two of our hosted trip saw Peter's son Eddie join us to fish the major rivers of the McKenzie district. It turned out to be a week of big fish for Peter, eddie and Dormer from Week 1, with all landing fish that pushed the 8lb mark. The days were warm and this really turned on some great dry fly fishing with the browns keyed in on the alpine cicadas and the prolific numbers of grasshoppers in the high country. One day on a local creek saw the big browns eager to eat anything big that was splashed down on the surface.

The Ahurriri river fished very well with the guys landing some fine fish under the watchful guidance of Steve Carey.









All agreed the the scenery was equally as absorbing as the fishing.
