Trout Fly Fishing Trips, South Island, New Zealand. Horse Trekking and Farmstay Accommodation at The Homestead Westland Ikamatua

December 1999

Comments by Jim Edwards from Colorado, USA, who stayed at The Homestead in December 1999 and caught this 22" Brown Trout in the Rough River.
Jim Edwards with 22 inch brown trout We had a wonderful stay despite the cloudy, rainy weather. Even though we didn't catch a lot of fish, Gary and I certainly enjoyed the challenge of hooking a 'Rough River Brown.'

Thanks for all your hospitality and the wonderful home-cooked meals.

Stay in touch -- I will be back.

P.S. The 22 inch Rough River Brown Trout fought like a much larger fish. He was fooled into taking a #16 Elk Hair Caddis dry fly around 5pm."
