FLY FISHING IS FUN
                         
               HOW TO BLEND IN WITH YOUR SURROUNDINGS AND MAYBE CATCH MORE FISH
When in the back country and its not deer hunting season , Try and look like a deer you will get close to trophy tout while others may struggle.  
 
Match your surrounding , Mark did and landed five huge trout . (no joke)Move slowly when trying to be a stone or the fish will spot you. 


Ducks can get close to fish in the shallows so why not imitate a duck !Mark could not believe how close he could get to wary tailing trout and caught plenty nice fish in the shallows this day, with the odd quack. Warning duck season is about to start so do not try this anytime soon.   
 

Happy Easter .
The weather has been so far pretty amazing this past month with April still looking great for some fun fishing.
84 brown trout were fooled by my last client on size 18 deadly nymphs, Deadly Ants and Deadly mayfly spinners. On the hot days the willow grubs were falling from the trees and fish are keyed  quickly onto them , creating a fun challenge for all.
 A few fish inhaled the small Banana fly though none were landed.Next time I hope Mr J.

Congratulations atlast to Ranuo from Finland. After breaking off & missing quite a few good fish on the Banana fly when I was guiding him . It was looking like he was never going to become a grub club member.
Ranuo eventually went out in the evening after a days guiding and caught a small brown on a Banana and has become the first Grub club member from Finland. Just Awesome.
 
A few days off guiding has given me a chance to get back at the vise. There was one fly in the collection that i just wanted to try and perfect and the new pimped up version has been finished and will be out by next year so watch this space. Its a pretty sexy version.
Some new cool sexy fly hooks arrived from Gamakatsu and its been fun testing them out which involves being quite extreme with them and breaking and bending half of my order in doing so.

Many of the sale items from the last news letter have been sold , though a few bargains still remain. So check the web site out for the specials . You can also view videos,read old articles and news letters from the years gone by or check out the Gallery of great photos .

 FLOWER POWER - The sky was clear and so was the water, using matching bank side flowers Mark my client could get very close. Mark caught six fish out of the pool you see behind him
    
Using the Fish Jet Jet boat on the Waiau river , the guys can sometimes get you fishing in some big hatches of mayflies and caddis. Rick my clients hooks the first one for the day.  

Micah will be leaving soon after helping me out. Safe travels from everybody.
