No I have not, but I know a guide that goes there during our winter.

 

[Ironworker]

Love fly fishing (tying too)

Nice flies.

Somewhat off topic, but Roy does NZ have great trout fishing? I used to work with a guy that would go there every winter (summer there) too fly fish.

Ray bell yeah there is mean trout/salmon fishing in New Zealand all thru the country at different places and times of the year

I know a local guide who is also an ambassador for Simms. She is known world wide. Probably one of the top 10 guides in the nation and probably THE best female guide. Her name is Rachel Finn. I feel privileged to be her friend.

 

[Ironworker]

Is that the Battenkill?

I'm no fly fishing guru by any means but there is some really good places in nz to catch trout

I know lots of tourists go to taupo

Nope
That's the Ausable above the Whiteface falls.
I met the editor of Fly Rod & Reel Magazine about 20min before that pic was taken. He was hammered drunk!! Lol.
We were fishing the 2 Fly Contest

A cop I work with ties his own flies and I got him a hackle from my neighbor that raises chickens. I haven't seen any but am intrigued by fly fishing.

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Whiting Farms raises the best hackle.
But I'd be willing to try anything.
Every feather has a purpose

I love tying myself, I got a bunch of Cree necks I like to tie with and Charlie Collins Duns of all shades and colors.

 

[Adirondackstihl]

The most productive dry I tie is a Haystack. Local Adirondack pattern.
Similar to a Comparadun. Hackle-less.

I love tying with Whiting. But I hate the price tag

 

[Adirondackstihl]

Before chainsaws, fly tying was my obsession. I still tie custom orders for customers and friends / local guides.

Is that a Fran Betters fly, if so I use his Ausable Bomber pattern for all my small stream fishing.

Yes it is!!
I tie all his patterns.
The bomber is a good one!!
I like the Usual too. Floats like a cork all day long. Tie em in dun and rusty orange too.
