Summary New Zealand's wilder southern island is explored by air and land. We learn about its unique and remarkable history and travel with guides to secret backcountry spots. We learn about how trout were introduced to the lakes and rivers of her glaciated stunning southern "Alps". New Zealand is famous for rainbow and especially brown trout but cutthroats were introduced first - then disappeared probably being bred into rainbows found today . Unlike other river systems, where the higher up you go on a river the smaller the river and trout - in New Zealand a river gets smaller of course but the trout somehow grow larger. New Zealand is rapidly being developed and her forests, lakes and rivers are increasingly under dire threat. We investigate these challenges with conservationists working for a sustainable ecosystem and economy.
