Man can't wait to learn to flyfish in the holidays...
Yeah it is an incredible place. I was at wyndham ) for the weekend and hit the mataura with some deadly fake rapalas (cheating yeah but still heaps of fun for me ). Didn't see any rises though, probably cause it was a southerly with random showers
the mataura is huge there though I also fished a couple of smaller rivers running to mataura
Its amazing how the fish sit in shallow bony stuff, sometimes with no river flow. I sometimes wonder why whenI can't see anything going on in the way of feed(I suppose there must be). Tried to catch a couple of bigger ones that were sitting on the surface by the bank but they just followed rapala and got spooked :(
Ended up landing 6 in the up to 2 pound range (great fighting fish, better than pomahaka fish of the same size last week) and 1 that was a bit bigger in a side creek, I'll try to find the pic
So much fun
