New Zealand's South Island boasts the best trout fishing rivers in the world. The Souther Alps are known as the high country, and the clear mountain streams that flow into rivers in the lowlands are prime brown trout waters. Peter Morse is joined by comedian Rob Sitch in exploring all that this area has to offer. Have you wondered if you could get by without a guide, Rob offers his insights into the matter. New Zealand has that unhurried feeling to its waters, and a solitude that draws you in to the majestic surroundings. Big fish can sometimes seem as an added bonus to all this region has to offer. Circa 1996

country contains the major fisheries
for trout in Australia. Along with its
huge reservoirs and large rivers, it
has a patchwork of clear running small

rods.

Truly memorable
captures come along only rarely in any
angler's lifetime. In this segment,
Peter Morse lands one of the biggest
brown trout to be taken on fly in Australia
since the heydays of Lake Pedder. This
massive sea-runner, from the wilds of
the Arthur River in western Tasmania,
has to be seen to be believed! As a
bonus, Murray 'Muz' Wilson shows exactly
how to tie the killer fly it was caught
on... Priceless!

Tasmania
is well known for the quality of its
trout fishery, but these wild trout
have the reputation of being amongst
the hardest of all to catch. Peter Morse
joins local guide Neil Grose on the
highland lakes to fly fish for these
elusive trout. Tasmania is an environment
that constantly changes, different weather
conditions and water levels can turn
good fishing into great, great fishing
into spectacular, so its important to
fish with a local guide who knows how
to match conditions to locations and,
of course, trout! With the changing
conditions, comes changing fishing opportunities
often in the same day: from drift fishing
in boats, to sight fishing the lake
edges. Peter also takes the opportunity
to try out some of the new range of
rods and reels from Redington, excellent
quality fly gear at affordable prices.
