Fly Fishing in Gore

Tuesday was a fantastic fly fishing day in Gore. We went out with our guide Barry to the Mataura River which was only a short drive from the B&B he and his wife Diane own. Dave caught a couple of fish right off the bat. We did really well all day only covering a short span of the river. Dave ended the day with around 25 hook-ups, landing a total of 17 brown trout. Jill hooked up 6 fish and landed 2. Three of Jill's hook-ups were so close to landing. One was even just about to go into the net and the hook broke. This makes Jill's second and third trout on fly, which is pretty exciting for her. Dave is getting to be very well at casting and is becoming quite an incredible fly fisherman. He was thrilled to have caught so many fish in one day. This was certainly the best fly fishing day we have had yet!
