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.

This section of the river holds lots of smaller fish.
