Here is a short trip report on the first week of our 2009 hosted New Zealand trips. The first week we visited Southland with Peter and Dormer fishing the waters around Lumsden. Great weather ensured plenty of sight fishing to rising browns and Rainbows. Peter managed his biggest eve brown trout on our first day of fishing on the Oreti, while Dormer fullfilled a lifelong ambition of landing a wild river rainbow from a stream in Fiordland. Stu Tripney of Stu's Fly Shop in Athol provided the guys with a couple of great days guiding on the Mataura to cap off the week. Here are a few thoughts from Dormer...
Hi Mat
Thank you for a fishing holiday of a lifetime. I was looked after from start to finish. I was well fed and watered and always had a comfortable bed. Best of all, the guides that you provided enabled me to catch fish. As you know I had never fished in NZ but with your guidance I managed to catch real wild fish, some a little larger than I was hoping for. I will be coming back next year, for you have given me the reason to return to a fishermans paradise. I will get the photos to you soon.
All the best
Dormer
