There's something special about trout fishing in New Zealand. Hell, Zane Grey called it the angler's "El Dorado." Nothing matches the sense of adventure created by trekking a long distance across rugged volcanic terrain to find the clearest water and biggest brown trout you've ever seen. And if the brown trout aren't enough, sight fishing for massive rainbows can always round out your days on the water. Fly fishing in New Zealand is
quite simply a heightened experience. More info...
Have you got the bug yet? It's hard to ignore that itch in your gut that comes around each fall when the air chills down and the leaves turn and steelhead are on the move.

Steelheading is an addictive habit, and we've got your gear needs covered. More info
Early Florida Keys guides George Hommell, Jack Brothers, and Jimmy Albright pioneered many of the big-fish fighting techniques that are used today to subdue fish that to the average onlooker are far too big to be landed with a fly rod. Stu Apte and Lefty Kreh popularized and perfected their techniques. They did it pursuing tarpon with fiberglass fly rods whose design emphasized durability and stiffness over ease of casting, and later with improved tackle on blue water species like sailfish.
What causes the migration? Is it a temperature thing? Is it a hungry thing? Maybe it is even the increase in sunlight? Or is it just a desire to see friends from up north again? Whatever the reason fly anglers up and down the eastern seaboard and even the Northern Pacific coast, for that matter, wait for this time of year with bated breath. It is the time that Striped Bass migrate from the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the Chesapeake Bay and Hudson River system start their annual northerly migration.
