Fly fishing
for brown trout and rainbow trout in New Zealand, South Island. Come
over and visit the extraordinary Mataura River. From our home
base in Gore, we can have you into some serious fly fishing in less
than ten minutes or we can take it a bit more leisurely. Not only is
the Mataura river very close but there are over 25 rivers and
streams within 2 hours drive as well.
Fly Fishing.
Southlands
rivers and streams are a mecca to dry fly fishers throughout the
world but the pearl among them is undoubtedly the Mataura river with
its reputation as one of the best brown trout rivers in the world.
It is famous for its hatches and spinner falls and is the best
'match the hatch' fishing in New Zealand.
At Mataura valley we
specialise in 'sight fishing' and Southland's clear clean rivers
and streams are well suited to this method of fishing.
From
meandering lowlands to bustling headwaters the Mataura river
valley has something for everyone.
Spot and stalk wild browns or 'match the hatch' and fish, the
rise. The Mataura river provides challenges at each new turn.
The guide will take you to
different rivers with great population
of rainbows and browns of good size having always the
possibility of catching fish between 4 and 8 pounds, that will
ensure you an amazing fishing experience.
Equipment.
We suggest fly rods rods
of 8-9 ft and Weight 5-6 cover most needs.
Lines of DT or WF in
greys, dull greens are best as bright coloured lines will spook
the fish.
Light Gore-Tex type waders are excellent or
shorts and thermal leggings. A warm
windproof and waterproof jacket is essential. Dull or
earthen coloured fast drying clothes and warm
micro-fleece/polypropylene style underclothes are recommended
because the temperature can range from 5 to 30 degrees C
throughout the season. Good quality stout tramping boots, wading boots, felt soled.
Polaroid glasses with yellow or amber lenses and a
hat are a must, wide brimmed or legionnaire style is best. A
high SPF sun block is recommended, as the New Zealand sun can be
very harsh.
Flies.
Standard
international patterns like pheasant tail, gold ribbed hares
ear, hare and copper flashback and bead-head varieties in
sizes 14-20 work well. Dry flies Adams, Blue Dun, Dads
Favourite and variations tied no-hackle, parachute, paradun or
CDC style again in sizes 14-20 work well.
Accomodation. Fish for a
day, or stay for a month, we can find the fish and help organise
your accommodation. From 100 year old fishing cottages, farm or
house stays to hotel/motels, we can cover your accommodation
needs.
