New Zealand's Southland region offers you endless opportunities to pit your angling skills against cunning brown and lightening-fast rainbow trout. But, without local knowledge in such a popular world-class fly fishing region, it's so much harder for you to find productive yet quiet spots away from the crowds. And then there are whole stretches of premium fishable water you can only reach with permission landowners rarely give to strangers.

Can you read the local conditions so you're fishing in the right places? Do you know where and when hatches are occurring? What the trout are taking, their behaviours and the best tactics to use? Have you got the right permissions or transport to even reach them? How much time do you want to spend finding the right spot rather than actually fishing?
