Hi guys I've got a spare week in New Zealand from about the 23rd Jan until 30 Jan.  I'm flying in from the UK 22nd but suspect the first day or two to be a bit of a write-off.  On 30th I'm meeting up with folk and have a couple of days booked with Lucas Allen and a few days guided and self-guide trout fishing so have that covered.  looking for some ideas where to go to mainly self-guide saltwater fly fishing.  I've done a reasonable amount in the UK but never in your neck of the woods.  Would value your suggestions on

Thanks for that I'm normally fit but has my Achilles tendon fixed 8 weeks ago am heading back to fitness and do have good hiking boots but may not be back to full fitness in 5 weeks !

if ya down with lucas ya best bet would be stay around there.

I think the fly rod could work, if that's your thing, but a spinning rod for softies and jigs would be easier for sure. Send me a message with a date closer to the time. As I say, it's a very weather-dependent exercise. Jetski is a safe vessel, but a wet ride if more than a small chop.
