THE RANGE//

For the last 15 years we have been lucky enough to spend over 150 days a season guiding anglers from all over the world on the wilderness rivers of New Zealand and over that period of time we have been constantly developing new patterns and tweaking old ones to create a selection of flies using quality materials and construction techniques, that work around the world.
