Trout Fishing Guide Craig Farrar
|
"Hi I'm Craig. I was first introduced to fly fishing at around
the age of 10 and have been an avid fly fisherman ever since. I
am also a keen fly tyer having learned the basics of tying flies
at a young age and for some time I tied flies for a local store.
My experience trout fishing in the Central North
Island spans the last 20 years giving me great knowledge of the
area. The Central North Island is a fly fishing paradise and offers
a wide range of trout fishing opportunities.
I recently won the Auckland regional Fly fishing Championships
and finished 11th in the National Fly Fishing champs.
This result put me through to a fish off where I qualified
for the team to represent New Zealand at the World fly fishing champs
in Portugal September 2006.
As a guide I love sharing the New Zealand outdoors.
The friendships that are made and of course the enjoyment people
get when they experience superb trout fishing in New Zealand. As
a Member of the New Zealand Professional fishing guides association
you can be assured of a quality fishing experience.
I look forward to showing you some of New Zealand's
best fly fishing."
Trout Fishing
Techniques Guided
River nymph fishing - There are great opportunities
for trout fishing with nymphs all year round. Summer provides the
opportunity to trout fish back country streams and rivers for resident
fish. In Winter nymphing to large spawning trout in very good condition
in the Taupo area is something I have and many others come back
for every year.
River dry fly - Trout fishing with dry flies
is good from November through to April. The best months are Dec
through March. The back country streams that are hard to find provide
fabulous fishing with no competion for space and trout willing to
take a fly.
Evening rise - November through April an evening
rise occurs on both lakes and rivers when conditions are suitable.
Lake fishing - Good fishing from November to
April. Best months Dec-March. Dry Fly, Nymph and Streamer Flies
will be used depending on the Situation. A small boat is often used
to access the best locations.
