    Nature of Sight Fishing in New Zealand

    Trout Diaries Radio, Episode 5: a chat with Ian Cole, top fly fishing guide in New Zealand In Episode 5 of the Trout Diaries Radio we chat with Ian Cole, one of the most experienced fly fishing guides in New Zealand, and a character in both The Trout Diaries and The Trout Bohemia books. We talk about the nature of sight fishing, how to do it well and how not to get into trouble with other anglers pursuing similar goals. River etiquette for sight fishing is totally different from all other styles and, if we want our space and trout solitudes respected, we need to do the same towards others. So listen and learn what are the exact rules of engagement. We also stray into river conservation issues, it is difficult not to these days. Ian is a vocal activist for water quality and he will also appear in our upcoming documentary The Trout Heaven and Hell.

    Trout Diaries Radio – Episode 4

    The Punk-Rocker of Fly Fishing In this episode we visit and chat with Stu Tripney who runs a delightful little doll-house of a tackle store on the Upper Mataura in Athol, New Zealand's Southland. Stu, who is one of the characters in The Trout Bohemia - which is now avaialble for pre-orders in our BOOKSHOP - is a guide, FFF Master Caster and an innovative fly tier. He's also the punk-rocker of fly fishing. You can read about my re-learning to cast with Stu here. But, as you will hear, there is a lot more to Stu than casting or punk rock. Enjoy the show!

    The Trout Diaries Podcast – Episode 1: Introduction

    Welcome to the first of our TROUT DIARIES podcasts. New Zealand is a phenomenal place to fly fish for trout, many say the best in the world, but it's also one of the most challenging. Many anglers have come here to live their dream of the Trout Eldorado only to come away beaten and humbled. This is because, as Charles Gaines wrote in his The Next Valley Over:  “In some places and at odd times trout fishing can be easy in New Zealand but typically and essentially it is more technically challenging and butt-kicking difficult than anywhere else in the world.” This is just one of the reasons for these podcasts: to help you improve your fishing and, if you are coming from elsewhere in the world, to come prepared. In subsequent episodes I will be brining you the best of New Zealand fly fishing: interviews with top guides, trout scientists, river conservationists, tips and tricks for what to do and what NOT to do here. I will take you with me on the road - the research trips for my trout books - and show you our diverse regions and how they differ through geography and seasons. Another reason for these podcasts is to spread the word about conservation of our trout rivers which are under an unprecedented threat from industrial interests. The more anglers know about this the sooner the change in environmental awareness will come about. So please join us, let our voice be heard. The hour is late. In the course of our journeys you will meet some of the characters who inhabit my books - the trout bohemians - and learn what makes them so passionate about fly fishing in New Zealand. You will gleam some of their river wisdom and experience. We will finish each episode with an audio excerpt from my books THE TROUT DIARIES and THE TROUT BOHEMIA (which will be out in August) to give you a literary taste of what it's like to live the trout dream here. There is always a danger in a writer writing about himself and his work so to begin with and, to forestall any self-indulgences on my behalf, here's an interview about The Trout Diaries which Colin Shepherd did with me for his HOOKED ON FLY FISHING radio show. So, sit back, pour yourself a glass of your favourite, and join us in living the trout fishing dream.
