Hello
Its that time of year when most guides get a few days off between clients and start to get things done . Alex (fly tying ,fishing guru) from France is staying at my house and helping with the list of jobs.
Though I keep sending him out to test some new hooks and fly designs and he keeps breaking off the big fish at the tippet.Which is not part of the plan.
 He tells me he just likes catching little ones!

                           IS HE A REAL MAN?

At first he would not borrow any waders that were offered to keep him warm and dry as he was a tough fly fisher.
though the temp now has dropped and he is now an official Wimp and will not go out on the river without wearing them.
Yes every morning the French guy Alex has a tea bag in his muesli.(no Joke) The grey thing is a bit of work in progress. 
 
Both of us, have been on a mission  at the vise and on the rivers ,playing around with a new range of Stu's Superior CDC flies , so watch this space. 


Pretty Sexy 
 
                       Stu's April - FISHING REPORT  

The last two clients, guided were both beginners and managed to fool 33 brown trout for the day between them. Even though there was not much of a hatch that day.
Most days on all the rivers there is some sort of mayfly hatch and the larger trout are looking very sexy and fat, with beautiful gold colors and spots.
 So get out there and have some fun before the season drifts to an end.
This has to be the best April fly fishing i have experienced in a long time, plenty of fish around and rising to small may fly cripples.
It was a big mouse year last year in the Lewis pass region and a few fishermen coming through the shop have been up that way after the big ones. Last year it was very busy with anglers up every river. The two of them spent five days up one river saw a few big ones and caught nothing and fished for over ten hours each day. They were surprised when I said that is normal sometimes in NZ when you chase the big fellows. They thought they would catch plenty each day.

FLY FISHING FILM FEST WITH APRIL VOKEY

The original Fly fishing Festival we all know called RISE in these parts comes to your local towns at the start of the season.
Another international fly fishing festival is now also touring NZ and Australia in early May at the end of the season.
A famous woman is touring with this festival and no doubt will be giving a bit of a talk before or after the festival.

 Her name is April Vokey and she has been working her butt off for years and i personally hope becomes the next Joan Wulff of the fly fishing world ,if she is not already.
The sport needs more women like April Vokey and great fly fishing films. Check out the dates HERE
