From what I hear the trout fishing on Tazzie is pretty similar to that found on NZ's south island where I have spent a bit of time.

Technical is a good word for it. Primarily spot and stalk fishing in water that is as clear as the air around it. Plenty of educated fish in the places that are easy to access. Getting off the beaten path helps with regard to both fish numbers and being able to get close to them, but that comes at a cost as well.

I left feeling fairly frustrated with a lot more missed opportunities than connections, but the experience was amazing and I can't wait to go back. Truly magical setting and the fish are badass.

Next time I am taking a packraft and going deep into the jungle.
