It’s here!!
We’re excited to share Wāhine on the Water — a three-day fly fishing weekend in Southland, NZ, created in collaboration with Stray South x Manawa.
📍 Montana Flat, Southland
📅 6–8 November
👯♀️ Limited to 8 wāhine
This is a guided, introductory experience for women who are curious about fly fishing or want to build confidence in the outdoors.
Over the weekend, you’ll be guided through the fundamentals in a relaxed, supportive environment — learning things like:
• Fly casting basics and time on the river
• How to read water and understand trout behaviour
• Gear, knots, and what you actually need to get started
• How to read weather, topo maps and river levels
Alongside the fishing, there’s space to slow things down and connect through mindfulness practices and gorgeous shared food around the fire.
