Greetings from Vancouver Island, B.C.
I will be visiting Queenstown for the month of January with my wife and and an old fishing friend. I would be most grateful for any information about fly fishing opportunities in the general area. We willl be staying a few minutes away from Lake Hayes so that water would be off particular interest along with Hayes Creek and the Kawarau River.We will have a car so transport will not be an issue. If communications are easier by way of a PM my email address is petermcmulllan@shaw.ca.
Many thanks,
Peter McMulllan, Nanaimo B.C.

My apologies....previous Queenstown query post should obviously have been located in the Fishing in New Zealand section. If Mods like to move it that's fine by me.
Cheers, Peter

Na no fish in the Queenstown area Peter. Best to head to the north Island and hit their fish up! 
I'm a local mate. Some nice fish in lake Hayes. some lovely wadeable water in there. Kawarau holds some good fish, but its a big fast water and has the tourist jetboats screaming up and down it quite literally every 15 min, so not a water id recommend to you.
If you have transport then don't limit yourself to just the waters in residential areas like Hayes. Some magnificent rivers less than 40min drive from town are open January, and its a great time of the year to be here, fishing wise!
Drop me a line closer to when you arrive and i can recommend some waters that are fishing well. I probably will have some time to take you out for a fish if you like as well?
If you need a guide, there is only one man to see!! Chris Dore. Top bloke and about the best dam guide in the whole country.
