And "the fly fishing.....!!"

 

The fishing style is sight fishing, and this is what New Zealand Fly Fishing is all about and what makes it so special!! Spotting fish and watching their every move as you tempt them with your fly. Not forgetting the larger than average size by world standards. Trout in the 6 - 8 lb range are common, with some up to the magical 10 lb mark, which will gladly take well presented dry flies or nymphs.

 

Crystal clear mountain streams and trophy size brown and rainbow trout means that sight fishing is not only very productive, but it's a hugely exciting method of catching these wild fish. This is a new fishing style for many visiting anglers, so you will quickly want to learn 'how to do it' and start catching fish and this is where, with our experience and expertise, we can really help you to be successful.

 

Have a look at the photos

And the Scenery

 

As well as trophy trout, a fly fishing trip in the New Zealand back country is spectacularly scenic. Imagine wide open spaces with steep tussock, scrub and beech covered mountainsides running up to rocky crags, scree slopes and glacial peaks, that loom above crystal clear turquoise waters and a fisherman as he quietly guides a large rainbow to his net......

 

If you enjoy the quiet solitude of remote areas, being able to get away from 'the crowds' and having a stretch of river to ones self then you've come to the right place, book your guide today, and let them share with you their secret places, you'll be fly fishing amongst the scenic grandeur of back country New Zealand.

 

 

Is a Fly Fishing Guide worth the expense? well consider this;

 

New Zealand trout have a reputation of being large but also somewhat difficult to catch and there are plenty of stories of visiting anglers coming over for their couple of weeks of fishing holiday only to be going home again with not much to show for it. Don't make this mistake, unless you have plenty of time, and are not worried about results, you are going to need the help of an expert local guide to 'show you the way' After traveling all the way to New Zealand you'll want to be sure you go home with lots of photos and stories to share with your friends .......won't you?

 

I know that it's hard with so many guides advertising on the internet; How do you choose the right guide? You've never met them before and really, you'll have no idea if they are any good, know what they are doing or will they provide the quality of fishing you deserve.

 

So we provide you with our Guarantee;

 

 

 

Also I keep a close watch on what our guides are doing, and if there are ever any problems I will work with them to sort those out. And at the end of the day if they don't measure up they wont stay listed on this site for very long. I want you to have the very best NZ fishing experience possible. So please book with confidence knowing that you'll be getting a quality product from any of the guides listed on this site.

 

Most importantly: Many satisfied customers see what they say

 

And once you have made your choice here is some more important advice;

 

Give yourself enough time! It's so disappointing when a client, who has booked for a one day fishing trip, has that day rained out or the rivers are too high, and so doesn't really get to sample just how good the fishing can be. Also many fishermen take a little time to adjust to the different New Zealand fishing style. Hence I recommend you book as many days as you can. My returning clients book 6 - 7 days on average so that tells you what they do. And that allows for some bad weather days, so hopefully out of that week of fishing, even if the weather is very bad you'll still get some good days.
