Saltflyfish

James is on the flyfishing journey and I am passing on my skills and experience to support him. With a generational connection to these waters and as an extension to his environmental work becoming a flyfishing guide makes a lot of sense. As the world gets busier we must look for the opportunities that are low impact and high value to ensure the places we love remain intact.

Connor and Lauren have fished with me a few times, each trip has provided a different aspect of our local Waiheke fishery. Conditions looked good for some shallow water sight fishing, I had concerns about the water clarity after the recent heavy weather. The water had been flushed with a couple of tide changes but was still milky green, unexpectedly we found snapper feeding among the bubble lines as if they were trout. Multiple snapper were sighted and cast to with some unlucky kingfish hits on the return trip.
