An update on Didymo

The invasive Didymo weed has now been found in 15 river systems throughout the South Island including such famous fisheries as the Oreti, Waitaki, Hakataramea, Buller, Aparima, Wairau Rivers. The latest discovery this week has been in the beautiful Cobb River in Nelson.

Leave your felt soles at home as they are now banned in NZ. It is likely that the weed was first brought to NZ in the felt of wading boots or waders. Even one single drop of water is sufficient to transfer Didymo to a new area. See the Fish & Game website for how to treat your fishing gear when moving to a new river system. We now wear studded rubber-soled wading boots as these can be dried completely where felt stays wet for weeks.

For those who don't know what Didymo is, see the Fish & Game website. Suffice to say it will ruin your fishing, as nymphing/wet fly is impossible. Even with dry fly, you will need toclean the weed off your line/fly every cast. And if you hook a fish, you will be playing 1-2 kilos of weed as well - Yuk!

Hi Ron,
I have just finished your excellent book "Catch that Trout - North Island".
I have to say that I was very impressed with the way it was so easy to read and digest. It was right up there with Tony Ormans "Trout on A Nymph".
I look forward to future books that you may publish.
Well I'm going out to try some of your methods this weekend - so many thanks.
Kind regards,

Mark Jackson
