The untapped potential that is "top of the south island" flats fishing is on show in this short clip. Hard fighting kingfish cruise with shorttailed and longtailed stingrays in just inches of water. We hook several kings over two days on the incredible SAGE ONE 8 weight. Long battles of over an hour at times left us shattered but craving more!

We are used to seeing New Zealand in connection with fly fishing. The North and South Islands renowned fishing for trout is so well covered in video and text that it's almost tiresome... if it wasn't for the fact that it is attractive as well as extremely suitable for pictures and video.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher has recently been updated to a new publishing system, and there may be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
