Hello all,

I am planning to come to New Zealand from the USA for about 6 months this coming January on a student study abroad program.  I am interested in doing some fly fishing while I am there.  I will be mainly in the canterbury area, but would like to travel most of the Southern Island in pursuit of trout.  I plan on bringing only one fly-rod.  I was wondering if anyone has an advice on what the best weight and length rod would be for me to bring along?? and also the best fly-lines to bring along (weight forward, sinking tip, etc. . .)? I will be using it almost exclusively for trout.  Thanks for the advice!

Cheers!

bring a pontoon boat with you, when you leave you can sell it for more than what you actually paid.  As for a rod it may well be cheaper to buy a rod here.
