Collin Murray loves fishing had only watched fly fishing on t.v and read about it in books. First trip to N.Z and he knew he had to give it a go.
The river was runnig a touch high from rain the day before, but the sun was shining so that made up for it. The fish were there to be spotted and we managed to get a few hooked up.
Collins first NZ Rainbow on the fly.
Stephen & Patrica Griffin were in Queenstown for a few days and had a day of fly fishing in the plan. Super strong winds up the head of the lake and rain coming later in the day mean’t a drive to Alexandra was the call. Alexandra on the banks of the Clutha River is well worth a visit and offers fisherman a challenge with a mix of Dams and rivers. For the beginner the water is perfect with good open casting and lots of fish that can give you a fun day out. The other thing about Alexandra is that it is always sunny!!
The Rail Bridge out of Alex, the first of many on the Cetral Otago Rail Trail. You know how they say there is always a fish under a bridge….. this one had about 4.
