New Zealand - General Fishing Information

Visitors coming to New Zealand to fish can bring their own fishing gear into the country. This includes rods, reels, most tackle and clothing. No matter if this is for trout, saltwater or deep sea sport fishing. However, all of your equipment must be cleaned and must be declared to the New Zealand customs service on arrival into the country. Homemade trout flies are not allowed into New Zealand. If you need more information on what you can and cant bring in you should contact the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Auckland, Phone +64 9 377 3008

Anglers wanting to trout and fly fish in New Zealand during the summer will be much more comfortable and find it quieter to fish in shorts, with a pair of sports shoes or soft soled boots. Waders can often be bulky, hot and clumsy in the heat and humidity of a New Zealand summer. But, if it is unseasonably cold weather, or evening fishing, fishers may consider using or require waders. For the colder seasons of autumn, winter and early spring at most good fishing spots require waders and, irrespective of the season, polarized glasses are essential. As New Zealand has the highest exposure to the suns harmful rays in the world, you should consider the following health precautions as essential no matter what time of year. These should be considered part of your standard pack or kit when fishing in New Zealand or anywhere else in the world. Sunscreen is a must, a hat or cap is essential during summer or at any time during the day and in many areas insect repellent is another necessity.

Some people think that fishing is OK in any weather. You should always check the forecast before going out on the ocean, lake, or even the river. The New Zealand Meteorological (Met) Service provides a free weather information service which including tidal reports and recreational marine weather forecasts. New Zealand weather patterns can and do change quite quickly, particularly through the periods of spring and autumn.

No matter what, safety should always be your first consideration. Fishers should follow sensible safety precautions, and be especially vigilant when sea fishing or surfcasting from rocks. Some areas can be especially wild and Auckland's West Coast beaches are beautiful, but they are treacherous and unpredictable, so it pays to fish with someone who knows the area or get some expert advise prior to going out. Signs giving safety warnings in many areas are there for a reason. Drowning is the third highest cause of unintentional death in New Zealand, behind motor vehicle accidents and accidental falls. Many of these drowning victims are visitors or new people who do not know the local area or conditions. More information on fishing safety is provided by the Water Safety Council of New Zealand.

A good source of information for fishing in general can be found via a great site: http://www.fishingmega.com Here you can get good information on fishing charter or other good advise on everything you will need to arrange your perfect day out fishing.

I wish you all good fishing and hope you catch your bag. But remember, regulations are made and in place to ensure our fishing reserves are managed and that our children can still enjoy what we have now, in the future.

Saltwater Fly Fishing

Saltwater Fly Fishing
Flats guru Jack Samson discusses the tricks of the trade in the increasingly popular sport of saltwater fly-fishing. The former editor in chief of Field & Stream (among other outdoors publications) covers tackle, technique, and tactics for a wide variety of saltwater quarry. But this is much more than a dry tutorial; Samson is an engaging teacher, and he liberally sprinkles his text with anecdotes from an exciting and exotic array of angling adventures. At times Saltwater Fly Fishing reads more like a collection of stories than a guide, especially true of the chapters on individual saltwater game fish. (Samson writes vividly about stalking everything from alligator gar to marlin.) But the careful reader will take away crucial details from these entertaining portraits of a world-renowned angler plying his trade in the vast saltwater arena.
