Fishing the Mataura River and surrounding Areas
The Southland region is blessed with many fine trout streams and many anglers return year after year for their annual fix.
And the world renown Mataura River is one of those special rivers that all anglers will want to visit.
Fishing in and around the lowlands of Gore offers many
different opportunities from chasing 1-4lb browns on the famous Mataura
during a "mad Mataura rise" where matching the hatch is essential for
hooking fish to stalking very large browns on the Oreti where stealth
and precision casting is necessary for success.
Also with so many small
streams and rivers such as the Otamita, Waimea, Waikaka, Waipahi, Waikaia
offering their own different individual style of fishing with most of
them giving you beautiful views of the rolling hills and lush 
green
farmland of Southland.
With so much water and variety locally there's something for everyone
from beginner to expert. Traveling times are short which means more time
on the water!
Further a field, we could be on the Waiau, Mararoa, Von or Eglinton rivers
which offer some spectacular scenery and fantastic fishing for the
infamous and feisty rainbows.
