Hello :)
The New year at this end so far has been wet and we have been hit by heavy rain and flooding with many rivers breaking their banks and changing direction.
The shop has at last started to pick up with many old faces returning and having a good chat and laugh.
SUICIDE
Some fishermen have been slightly suicidal because they can not find any clear water to fish at these times local knowledge kicks in for the best results and hiring a good local pro guide can change the suicide phase.
LAKES - 13 TROUT
Most traveling fishers have had no choice but to hit the lakes which we have be constantly recommending in the shop as they are all still clear. A couple of guys I was guiding managed to hook 13 fish using the Olive Deadly Minnow the other day along lake edges, so great sight fishing can still be found, even in these conditions.
There will be a Feb news letter with more juicy info in it later. This newsletter is mainly just to let you all know about some exciting new unique products which at last have been made available and they are all unique to Stu's Fly Shop NZ.
PASSION
Again without your amazing support, photos and comments, my dreams and goals would still be so far away. Remember to read the blog for more juicy info and fun, visit us and post your photos on Facebook. Enjoy life and be happy with the odd fish involved! :)

Another project that at last has materialized, we have teamed up with BUFF headwear and now have an VERY COOL Unique Fly Fishing - NZ Original Buff available, like the new caps - we have limited stock.
