With trout fishing season officially kicking off next week, many fly fishers will be gearing up to get out on the water. But some anglers are rethinking their approach as the waters that are favoured by trout are warming up and causing stress and even death of the fish.
Mike Weddell is a world professional title winner and five time British All Round Fly Casting Champion. Having lived and fished in Otago and Southland for nearly 40 years, Weddell has seen first-hand the ill-effects of the warming waters and low river levels.
