FlyLife Magazine 119 Winter 2025 Edición anterior

In this issue, we head into the heart of winter on Tasmania’s Great Lake, where icy winds and solstice rituals are all part of the charm, and the cormorant’s controversial role in Tassie's local trout fisheries comes under scrutiny.
Over in New Zealand, a Spey casting masterclass on the Tongariro River revisits the power and grace of two-handers and Golden Bay flats, kingfish return to the spotlight, revealing new lessons around fly choices.
We find purity and precision on the spring-fed Waihou, then shift gears to explore the stillwater gems of Canterbury, a journey rich in texture and trout.
There’s romance found in hand-crafted bamboo rods, and a practical rethink of tippets in modern leader systems. Ambitions run high from the flats to the frontier, with a record-chasing permit mission and a lifelong dream fulfilled on Nova Scotia’s Atlantic salmon rivers.
