Introducing
Nelson Fly Fishing Guide Peter Warren
Registered Member New Zealand Professional Fly Fishing Association
The Nelson region is world-renowned as a superb brown trout fishery, and quite rightly so. The rivers are clear, flowing through native bush and, in them, large brown trout with honey-golden flanks and spots on their sides as big as your thumbnail.
But these are not easy targets. They can be selective, always wary and, when hooked, dirty fighters, heading for rocks, logs, and anything else to aid their escape.
But they can rise freely to a dry, take a nymph with enthusiasm and smash a cicada.
If you want to take up the challenge of hooking into a Nelson brown trout, I can help make that dream a reality.
I have been fishing for over thirty five years, since my early childhood. I was brought up on a farm on the banks of the Rangitata River in Canterbury. I spent my younger days in summer chasing salmon and brown trout in the Rangitata. Now settled in the Nelson area, I and my wife Alison, own Pigeon Valley Lodge, twenty minutes south of Nelson.
I provide top quality guiding service with 4WD vehicle and boat transport or arrange helicopter fly-ins to remote headwaters.
As well as day
trips, I offer camp-outs, staying in forest huts and multi-day fishing
trips. This keeps you right on the water and maximises the time
available for fishing.
WHAT I OFFER:
- 30 years fly fishing experience.
- Quality 4WD vehicle and boat.
- Superb lunches and refreshments.
- Quality tackle if required.
- Casting tuition.
- VISA and Mastercard for your convenience.
- Member of NZPFGA
A professional attitude with a commitment to giving you the most enjoyable days fishing.
