New Zeland Southern Spring Weather and fly fishing

Yesterday I had the opportunity to drop down to the Lumsden accommodation and do some work around the yard etc and then took off from there on a big circuit checking water out.

Upper Mataura - big flow and green murk - no sight fishing - fishable
Lower Mataura - Big flow green/brown - no sight fishing - worm country!
Oreti @ Lumsden - Big flow green/brown - no sight fishing - Woolly buggers and worm country
Oreti @ Mossburn - Big flow green/brown - no sight fishing- Woolly buggers and worm country
Aparima - Big flow brown - no sight fishing - Woolly buggers and worm country
Hamilton Burn - Big brown - no sight fishing - Woolly buggers and worm country
Waraki - Medium flow - clean - sight fishing
Borland - Medium/big flow - tan clean - semi sight fishing
Lower Waiu - Big flow - brown - no sight fishing - woolly buggers and worm country
Mararoa - Big flow - brown - no sight fishing - woolly buggers and worm country
Upper Waiau - Big Flow - clean

More rain overnight turned to snow this morning for a short period so more water has been sent into the catchments and when it warms up again there will be plenty of melt coming off too.
