Fly Fishing New Zealand

Thanks to Peter Moscovitz for the following stream report and pictures from the South Island of New Zealand. Dear Friends, A note to say thanks for helping collect all the gear I needed for my trip to New Zealand. It was all I hoped it would be. The flies were just what I needed and the extra hackled parachute Adams made fine floaters for even the size 12 tungsten headed PTs (the Moskanymph). All sizes of the tie worked as well as during my last trip. If anyone wants to know how to pass boots and waders through invasive-species-controls at the airport, I have the …

Simms Waders and Winter Fishing Report

Thanks to Steve for the following report. Theaux, I had a chance to get in a couple hours of fishing the day after Christmas. Fished upstream from Big Falls Road, experimenting along the way, and after figuring out how to get a bead head pheasant tail close to the bottom, landed a small brown, about 7 inches. The fish was pale, the par marks were very visible, the spots were brilliant red, and the adipose fin was bright orange/red. A beautiful fish indeed. And thanks for helping with selecting my gear. The Simms Rivershed waders and Cloudveil wading boots are perfect. As someone who has …

Fly Fishing Codorus Creek

Throughout the past two weeks, I have been exploring a creek located in southern Pennsylvania, just West of the small borough of Jefferson. The stream is called Codorus Creek, and it is only a twenty-minute drive from our Gunpowder River. Codorus is a small tailwater, about twenty to thirty feet wide, and flows year round from the cold depths of Lake Marburg. The stream has some interesting characteristics and features that are different from the Gunpowder. However, Codorus is similar in the fact that it is dominated by wild brown trout. Most of the stream winds its way through cornfield after cornfield. I have only …
