South Island Trout Stalkers New Zealand

December was a great month with hot hot weather and fish on the chew.

Not only were we blessed with the weather but I also had clients wanting something a bit extra out of there trips and keen to do overnighters.

Camping out is my favorite way to go fishing, no rushing, evening fishing, dawn fishing and being around the camp fire and with a few days up your sleeve it really allows us to get into some out of the way places.

Quinton Clark was keen to go somewhere out of the way and was prepared to do the yards, check out some of the fish he landed.

Although this was not our biggest fish this is one that stuck out in our minds, very hard to spot, on a hard drift and then when hooked it really didn’t want to come in too easy.

Yes if you want to walk in the these remote places you have to carry a pack, no heli access to this place.

Camp and loving it, had dinner not much to do so off fishing we went, bagged a few more now time to relax and tell a few tails around the fire.

Getting fish like this to the net is a real treat.

And fishing water like this, awesome.

When you have 3 days up your sleeve there is no rush so time to boil the billy and have a brew.

A hulk of a fish.

We caught plenty more but i think you get the idea.

Day Trip
