The Canterbury Fly-Fishing Club organises fishing
trips several times
each season, including some winter fishing day trips. Aside from these
day trips, there are also two major annual club trips:

1) SHOW WEEKEND TRIP – Twizel
This
trip has grown to be the major trip of the year for our members
with 32 members traveling to Twizel in Nov 2006.
The trip is especially designed to ensure new anglers are teamed up
with a more experienced angler on the streams, rivers and lakes of the
magnificent McKenzie country.
We have for the past 2 years been able to help every new angler land
their first fish on a fly rod and for many they were able to land
numerous fish.
This trip is also a huge social event with a team meeting each night to
determine the following days pairings and fishing locations followed by
a shared BBQ tea which continues into the wee hours…..and
sometimes beyond!
2) EASTER TRIPS
Reefton (Advanced anglers only)
2007
will see the first ever CFFC advanced anglers trip. This is an
opportunity for the advanced members to get away and just go hard!
The club has exclusive hire of a backpackers hostel where 12 intrepid
anglers will base their 4 days of extreme fishing in this fantastic
fishing playground.
On last year’s trip and within 2 minutes of stopping at our
first riverside location Ricky spooked (what’s new) a fish
that we estimate was easily 12lb!
The fish are there, but they are not easy to entice. These experienced
anglers will be doing all they can to ensure they do not repeat
Ricky’s mistake.
Twizel (Open to all members)
Back
to the beautiful McKenzie country with it’s small
streams, big rivers and myriad of lakes and tarns.
This trip is not a mentoring trip but an opportunity for anyone to join
a trip aimed at testing their skills on numerous trout, which have
become wary nearing the end of the season.
3) THE RAINBOW RUN
This
winter we will hold the inaugural “Rainbow
Run”. Members will travel up to Lake Coleridge for a days
fishing with a BBQ lunch followed by a night fish for the
well-conditioned rainbows which frequent this lake in Winter.
