Clothing:
Dark, natural colors i.e. Browns, darker grey, greens, camouflage, etc. No bright clothes or hats.
Boots:
Felt soled fishing boots are great; otherwise normal sturdy tramping/hiking boots that support your ankles are fine.
Shirts:
Long-sleeved brushed cotton or lighter weight, in darker colours.
Thermals:
Polypro or Merino top to wear under the shirt against the skin because it can get very cold at times. Merino apparel tops are available to purchase from the Swazi link or purchase while in New Zealand. Advisable to bring a fleece jacket for when the mercury drops. Polypro or Merino leggings are a good alternative to trousers and waders, for those who don't mind getting their feet wet.
Rain Jacket:
This is compulsory!! Remember dark coloured Jackets are best, and need to be very waterproof. Let us know if you require these.
Polarized sunglasses:
Compulsory to spot the fish.
Sun Hat:
Dark or tan with a wide all-round brim to protect from the sun.
Sunscreen:
New Zealand experiences a lot of sunshine hours and it is recommended that you use a water resistant sunscreen with a minimum SPF15 .

A small 15 –20 litre daypack can be helpful. Avoid bright colours.
