In the event that you’re in need of a couple amazing dry fly eats from New Zealand, a hip soundtrack and a few seconds of some good tooth scrubbing, you’re in luck, Jazz & Fly Fishing has got what you need.

From the fly fishing world’s coolest jazz musicians, Jazz & Fly Fishing: “I’ve been dreaming about fly fishing in New Zealand since I was a kid. In February 2025, the dream came true. Together with three dear friends, I travelled around the South Island, just fly fishing and enjoying life. Happy days! A few weeks later, it feels like it never happened. Fortunately the arctic spring is just around the corner.”

And if you’re jonesing for more from these hip fellas, check out the feature from their American trip, The Hatch Starts in an Hour, originally published in Volume Fifteen, Issue Four. Enjoy…
