It's hard to believe that New Zealand is suffering from a severe shortage of water.
The South Island rivers are at the lowest that I have ever seen them at in all the time that I have fished there over the years.
The one upside to this shortage of water is that spotting fish does become a bit easier, but then again, the odds are against you as they see you coming from miles away!
Lots of stealth and good presentations resulted in a few good fish, although there were the obligatory heartbreaks over the course of this trip.
