Hi, I'm new to fly fishing. Going on vacation to NZ over Dec/Jan. Booked a camper for a self drive vacation.

Any advice for a complete novice? Will have access to boats while in Auckland so advice on saltwater and fresh water places to fish, flies etc would help.

Also has customs an issue with flies; heard they're strict and would not like to have a issue before the holiday begins?

Will be visiting North and South Islands and don't have much time over there so would like to make it count by pre-planning the trip.

Thanks, Jono
