Video spotlight: Latitude 55 Degrees South

Video spotlight: Fly Fishing the ‘Land of Bones’
New Zealanders really do have it all. Not only do they have some of the best dry-fly trout fishing on the planet at their fingertips, but they're a short hop away from tropical destinations like Aitutaki, the "land of bones." I realize that we here in North America enjoy our share of quality trout and…
