Pure Fly NZ

In the first Epsiode of Pure Fly NZ we visit Lake Otamangakau with Andrew Harding and Matt Hince. The lake lives up to its reputation for wily trout but with some old-fashioned hard work and persistence the boys both land enormous trout.

The team head into the deep south following a hot tip about Trout in the Southland estuaries feeding aggressively on a large run of smelt (tiny bait fish) on their annual spawning migration.

On this week's episode, the Pure Fly NZ team of Julian Danby and Anton Donaldson shine a light on the exciting and challenging world of saltwater fly fishing, targeting hard fighting Kingfish in the shallows of Golden Bay.

Cory Scott and Chris Sharland venture deep into the Kaimanawas courtesy of the team at Helisika Helicopters for some challenging but ultimately rewarding remote headwater fly fishing.

Andrew Harding team up with Rene Vaz of Manic Tackle Project on the popular Tauranga Taupo River. The fishing is certainly fast and furious in this one.

We follow Jeff Foresee and Ronan Creane as they chase the bright, fresh run fish of Autumn. These guys are best mates but hail from opposite ends of the world and they both now call New Zealand home.

In this adventure Mike Kirkpatrick and Jack Kos are fly fishing the famed Kahurangi, an epic slice of back country New Zealand that is home to a large number of trophy brown trout.

In the final episode of Pure Fly NZ's first season we head to the mecca of the sport, Southland with Mike Davis and Sam Yule to take in the excitement of this quintessential kiwi event, and bag some stunning footage in the process.
