Let me tell you, I’d rather take the guy who can put it on a saucer every time at 35ft than someone who is all over the show at 80 feet. Accuracy will win over distance on an NZ river nearly every time, but you’re still going to have to chuck it against the wind.

I'll have to give you a shot when I'm down there. Been drooling over that country for long enough now. I’ll be in that neck of the woods in a few months.

I started NZ without a guide and it took a while to get the learning curve to rise and start to see and catch fush properly. Luckily I had 5 months time to spend, but if I had only a week or two, I would have got totally wrong impression about NZ fishing. So a day with a guide is really money well spent. And remember the DIDYMO. Markus Väisänen non-guide fishing fanatic from Finland I can agree.

A bit of local help will definitely help. You probably know that already, but the fishing , the scenery and the guides will make this place come alive. 2 out of 3 is good, but if you get all 3 then your really going to remember it and enjoy it a whole lot more. Good advice from a kiwi. JT What Gordy didnt say was, this place is one of the best fishing spots in the world. A bit of local help will definitely help.
