Middle Earth Fly Fishing Fly-fishing comes with a diversity of motivation. For some,it’s about chasing big fish, or a busy day with consistent high numbers, but for me, fly fishing’s greatest gift, is captured in those quality moments shared with like-minded people in beautiful places. South Island New Zealand is arguably the world’s best offering for sight fishing to large trout. We literally don’t cast until we see a fish; watch it’s feeding pattern; and carefully plot our plan of attack. More than that, it’s done is gin-clear water with stunning scenery in every direction – epic mountains, glacial cut valleys and hidden back-country streams full of character (not people). You can’t help but think you are the only person for hundreds of miles. Very simply, a summer in NZ will change your angling life. original content and photograph Josh Hutchins
