What flies to bring

Ahh, but if you are at Canyonlands, its only a hop and skip down to
Mexican Hat and Monument Valley, maybe with a side trip to Canyon de
Chelly. Then, of course, the Grand Canyon (North Rim) is just down the
pike a way....which puts you just within arms length of Kodachrome
Basin and Bryce Canyon. Then, only a small detour puts you within a
day's journey of Yosemite, then on up the Pacific Crest to see the
Redwoods....and then its just a small trip to Mt St Helens....then the
Columbia River Gorge...Craters of the Moon....down into the Clave from
the north....

Yep, a month or so might be just about right.

And don't forget Zion - you'd be almost there. g I'm going to do a southwest
swing in May/June and Yellowstone/Grand Teton in September this year - and maybe
some more in between depending on gas prices.

I have, I think, the casting and presentation part fairly under
control, so what I was thinking was to get myself some information on
what flies to bring (read: probably buy) when fishing on the North
Island of NZ.

Anything that catches trout in Europe or the US will catch trout in
NZ. We do not have the prolific insect hatches of the US here so the
trout are not so fussy. Cicada patterns will be useful in late Jan.
While it's a South Island site the URL

contains good information which is appicable to the whole of NZ.
Good luck and enjoy your trip.
