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.
