Any Kiwis out there? A few New Zealand fishing questions.

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Hey all,

I am building a 6wt cane rod for a good friend who lives in Christchurch, New Zealand - on the south island - and I would like to include a box of flies and some fishing suggestions for him, but I know virtually nothing of the area.

Any chance any of you might have some ideas for patterns for a decent fly box that would work down there, and any rivers in the area that are better than others? He is not a great fisherman, so dumb fish are better than big fish.

Thanks!

Chris

Shilton and Solitude fly reels now available!

I'm not a Kiwi, but here are a couple of sites that might help:

Kingfisher's Fly Shack:
http://www.flyshack.co.nz/shop/index.php?cPath=1_26

Fishing in New Zealand pattern page:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/r..._4/patterns.htm

Kingfisher's is a on-line fly shop. It looks like they use some of the same patterns as we do. For the patterns that are unique to NZ like the Twilight Beauty, check out the pattern page.

I hope this helps.
