just got back from a month and a few days fishing the south island of new zealand and it was amazing. if u think steelheading is difficult, like i did, go pursue 8-10 pound browns and rainbows on the dry fly. it took me 3 days to learn how to spot fish and another 3 to SLOW DOWN. i am usually a very active fisherman covering many kilometers of river in a day, but in nz u can fish a 12 hour day and only cover half a km. when u spot a fish u watch him for a while to see what hes feeding on and try to stay as still as possible while getting anihilated by the sandflies. if u think bugs are bad in northern canada, these sandflies are worse. i was truly humbled by nz and it definately made me feel like my first day of flyfishing all over again. nz was a heavenly place, but it was nice to come back and pick up a few with the centerpin yesterday on the stamp. ps if you r like me and not married, every campsite i stayed at was stacked with german and swedish girls, good times
