Freshwater Fishing NZ

Freshwater Fishing NZ is your companion for the trout rivers and lakes of the deep south — Southland and Otago.

CONDITIONS THAT ACTUALLY HELP
• Live river flow from Environment Southland and the Otago Regional Council, with water temperature where it's gauged
• A plain-English fishability read — is it worth going, right now?
• A fortnight of flow history with the seasonal median, so you can see the trend
• Weather from Apple Weather — current conditions, rainfall and the 7-day outlook

KNOW THE WATER
• A hatch calendar and a fly recommender for what's on
• Fish species and the rules for each reach, from the current Southland and Otago Anglers Notices
• Getting to the water: access types, parking, paper roads and the official Fish & Game maps — plus offline maps you can download before you lose signal
• River and lake webcams where available

KEEP A SEASON WORTH REMEMBERING
• Log every fish — from a sighting to landed, with weights, flies and notes
• Insights, home-screen widgets and Siri
