October is knocking on the door!

The new season is just around the corner. If your anything like me, you will have your gear spread from one end of the kitchen table to the other and checking your gear making sure it's good to see the season out. It's very worthwhile cleaning your reals and checking rod guides etc. Nothing worse than getting on the river to find you have poor performing equipment, let alone losing that trophy fish that you have be stalking.

One thing I have really noticed is the feedback back about our flies.  Andrew Benton, a fishing guide focusing largely around South Australia. He recently did a review on our flies, and this is what he had to say.

"Dirty Flys New Zealand may have a reputation for being a bit “naughty” in the world of trout fishing, but their effectiveness in catching fish is undeniable. These flies often push the boundaries of traditional patterns, incorporating bold colors, unconventional materials, and innovative designs. While some anglers might initially raise an eyebrow at their audacious appearance and names, it’s precisely this element of surprise that often leads to success. Trout are wary and Dirty Flys supply a refreshing change of pace that can trigger strikes from even the most cautious fish. So, while they may be a tad unconventional at times, don’t be fooled; Dirty Flys New Zealand are a secret weapon for those looking to outsmart and out fish their competition on the water."

I couldn't have said it better myself. But I really do appreciate this great feedback, it's amazing how the word is getting around. We have been shipping a lot of orders out to our friends over the ditch, so not only do our flies work in our pristine waters of New Zealand, but they are also getting seriously tested in Australia waters too. By what we have seen so far, the results are blowing their minds!

So, get ready for the new season, stock up of flies and drag your family and friends out onto the water. There is no better satisfaction of introducing a mate to fly fishing and coaching on to their first fish. 

Tight line's, sharp hooks and big fish!
