Fly Fishing Iceland

Salmon, sea trout, brown trout and Arctic char across the three kinds of Icelandic river: glacial, spring-fed and direct runoff, and how to read each one.

Fly Fishing in New Zealand

Not a checklist of famous rivers, but a country read as a set of fishing problems — Taupō rainbows, South Island sight fishing, West Coast spate rivers, Canterbury braids.

Two authorities (DOC for Taupō). Fish the conditions. Check, Clean, Dry.

Fly Fishing in Japan

Native yamame, amago and iwana in mountain streams, white-spotted char in volcanic Hokkaidō lakes, tenkara on the fixed line, and the great Sakhalin taimen handled with the restraint a rare fish deserves.

Honshū: co-op yūgyoken, closes ~30 Sep. Hokkaidō: largely open, spring & autumn. Tenkara up high; Itou is conservation-first C&R.
