It was our first trip to New Zealand, and I was so lucky to find Julian Peters had an opening a day I had free. Lesson: book early! I could tell Julian would be a guide I liked because he started with a simple email interview to inquire about my goals and hopes: Land a fish, multiple opportunities, experience NZ splendor, & learn something new. Julian communicated prior to our trip as needed, which involved several back and forth of texts/emails my preference. He was also extremely easy going as my teenage son kept bouncing between going and skipping this outing - Julian rolled with it. Plus he helped us get the necessary equipment as I did not bring my own - I didn't want go thru customs and carrying it during a tour for a single day of fishing. Our day started with communication as a traffic accident delayed our pick-up by 30 minutes, after which we were off to the river. Once we found a section and geared up, we went to find our first trout. I have never experienced sight casting to trout like this. The Mataura River is gin clear and the browns were out, not hiding in the shade or on the bank or under a boulder. I spent the first hour really all day learning how to accurately cast/present to them. Julian was masterful coaching me all the way. Seriously just the perfect amount of showing how to do it and then occasionally giving a tip here or there as I figured it out. I've fly fished for 15+ years and there were a few occasions where I've needed this accuracy my home waters. What I learned in this outing was the corrections/technique I needed to perform consistently. I spent the first hour casting to a fish that never spooked away. Julian changed the flies up a few times and we finally got the fish to bite and landed it. Afterwards it was my son's turn. He hooked into a few fish but lost them. That said, Julian coached him through the process with the same steady hand - perfect amount of tips when needed without overwhelming. Best recommendation I can give is I will hire Julian again when I return to NZ for future fishing trips!
