Mataura & Southland Fly Fishing Guide Bill Rodgers
I'm Bill Rodgers, a member of the New Zealand Professional Fishing Guides
Association.
Do you want to experience New Zealand's finest 'match the hatch' fly fishing for wild brown trout?
Then let me take you to select parts of
the Mataura River normally fished only by experts and trout bums.
Many visiting
anglers leave the Mataura frustrated. But, I'll show you how to use tiny flies,
long leaders and light tippets on the choosiest of trout. I'll also help you
solve the 'match the hatch' riddle. Are they on floating nymphs or duns? So
they're feeding on emergers, but are they mayflies or midges? When does the
caddis come off? Do I need a down stream presentation? I'll provide the answers
and tuition that will hone your fly fishing skills.
And if you want some
variety, the Mataura is within easy reach of waters that offer other styles of
fly fishing. So contact me when you're ready for free rising rainbows, freestone
river browns or do you want to 'throw' large cicada patterns in the height of
summer? Plenty of water, plenty of options, plenty of large, wild hard fighting
brown and rainbow trout.
Allow me to guide you on a unique and rewarding
fly fishing experience where you will appreciate the splendour, serenity and the
uncluttered space of the beautiful South Island of New Zealand. You will enjoy
an incomparable experience in the art, the sport, the peace and the pleasure
that is fly fishing.
I will plan and organize everything, including
accommodation so you can relax and enjoy your South Island fly fishing
experience of a lifetime.
