Schwing!

Summer is definitely losing it's grip, the mornings are starting off crisper and the latter part of the day quickly losing any warmth that may or may not have come. Afternoons are getting shorter and the evening finds me sitting at the tying bench, mixing a few things up on some experimental tube flies while knocking back a few cold local brews. These flies are tending to be a little larger and brighter than traditional New Zealand streamer flies, more in line with the steelhead flies of the Americas.

Anyway, more about the flies to come later. The upcoming winter has us amping to get out on some of the bigger rivers we have on offer. The two handed switch rods will be out throwing some sick loops through the cold as hell mornings and swinging these big bright flies for some big agro fish and Schwing! These fish hit with an addictive force and will make for some amazing winter fishing.

Here's something to tide you all over until the colder mornings see us fiending on this style of fishing. While our rivers aren't as big and don't hold fish of such proportions, its still some pretty good footage. Gotta love the big chromies!
