Pure Fly NZ
Pure Fly NZ has set a new benchmark in fly fishing entertainment. Each of the episodes across two series follows a pair of passionate Kiwi anglers as they explore the stunning rivers, lakes and waterways of New Zealand.
Lake Otamangakau
Andrew Harding and Matt Hince team up to visit a huge man-made lake - one of New Zealand's most famous trophy trout waters - in the country's North Island: Lake Otamangakau.
Southland Smelters
New Zealand's Southland's four major rivers are famous as brown trout fisheries, especially in the upper and middle sections, but in this episode Anto Hall and Mike Wilkinson are heading to the estuaries, to fish the annual smelt run.
Golden Bay Kingfish
Discovering new waters to fish is among the pinnacles of the fly fishing experience, and this saltwater flats fishery, Golden Bay, is just such a gem. Kingfish have a unique relationship with short-tailed stingrays, which they use as mobile cover.
Backcountry Kaimanawas
This episode of Pure Fly NZ sees a helicopter ride take anglers Cory Scott and Chris Charland deep into the the mountains to target New Zealand's famous trophy trout, but will an approaching weather-bomb cause them a headache.
Tauranga Taupo
Lake Taupo was formed in the caldera caused by an enormous volcanic explosion. The Tauranga is one of the few tributaries that the lake's legendary rainbow trout use to spawn.
Autumn Chromers
The South Island's Otago Lakes District is the location for remarkable autumn trout fishing brought about by the fish leaving the lakes and heading upstream to spawn.
Kahurangi Gold
If you're looking for quintessential New Zealand fly fishing, look no further than the Kahurangi National Park. The rivers are crystal clear, remote, and stacked with trophy brown trout.
Opening Weekend
Two words more magical to the ears of a fly fisher than 'Opening Weekend'? In New Zealand's South Island, the red letter day is the last day in September.
