There is a huge selection of fly tying materials at the local
fishing supply stores in Kaiapoi & Christchurch, so you might like to tie your own, or
you might like them personally tied for you by myself. However there is plenty of
equipment available and it is always on hand even on site at the river or lake - the
portable vise. |

The trip must go on rain, hail
or snow ,the fish still bite just the same,and it makes it more interesting for us to
stalk and catch our prey. Flying is subject to weather. |
