2 June Chasing trout in New Zealand’s backcountry Susi Lang
Susi Lang explores the backcountry to find trout – tramping, rafting and abseiling to access some of New Zealand’s crystal-clear rivers. This presentation follows her adventures beyond the cast — exploring wild landscapes, stalking trophy trout, and the moments of solitude, challenge, and excitement that make backcountry flyfishing in New Zealand truly unique.
Please see our online hui guidance for information on how to attend and for an invitation.
Coming up on Tuesday 2026-06-09
