Hello! I'm Michael
Vetters, a fly fishing guide based in Gore, on the banks of the
Mataura River and in one of the world's best trout fishing areas.
I hope I will be able to help you enjoy fly fishing in this beautiful
part of new Zealand.
I have extensive
knowledge of most rivers in Southland and of the surrounding regions,
with my personal favourites being the Mataura, Waikaia, Oreti and
Pomahaka rivers. I will PERSONALLY guide you so that I can guarantee
a top quality service.
Matching the
hatch on the famous Mataura river can be challenging to say the
least, and for this you can't beat the knowledge of a true local
guide. The selective feeding wild brown trout rise readily to the
day time mayfly, midge and evening caddis hatches. However, the
Mataura river, although sometimes frustrating, can offer a most
enjoyable days fishing and I will show you how to leave with a smile
on your face.
Sight fishing
for wild rainbow and brown trout in the gin clear backcountry rivers
can be an exhilarating experience during summer. Spring creeks offer
even more of a challenge with accurate casting and very long leaders
required.
If you are interested
in exploring our local waters, then day trips and overnight trips
can be arranged to most of the rivers in Southland.
My personal
guarantee:
If for some reason you don't hook any fish or I can't spot or find
any fish for you to fish to on your full guided day then I'll be
happy to refund half of your guiding fees. In this (rare) case you'll
still get to enjoy some great fishing in this unique part of the
world and learn some of my valuable trout fishing secrets.
Disclaimer:
I reserve the right due to safety reasons to cancel or cut short
a trip due to bad weather, water conditions or unforeseen circumstances.
In such cases guiding fees will be refunded. Fishing in New Zealand
can take you into rugged and isolated terrain. While experienced
guiding and assistance will be provided, Flyfish the South can accept
no liability for injuries or other medical conditions, losses or
claims of any kind or nature.
