"Peter,
this picture is now on my office wall (it IS!!) so I can dream of the
large trout you put me on to quietly sipping flies off the surface. I
never imagined my heart would race each time I recall the thrill of
fishing to these magnificent specimens. I'll be back!"

"During a
recent trip to New Zealand, I had the opportunity to spend several days
fly fishing with Peter Warren of 'Pigeon Valley Lodge.'
Peter eagerly shares his top fishing waters, fly fishing
knowledge and techniques. He has a keen eye for fish spotting and a vest
full of fly angling tips. But equally important as his considerable
fishing skills, Peter is a great person to spend time with on the water.
His calm and pleasant demeanor would make even the most novice angler
feel at ease. Peter and his wife, Alison, are gracious hosts, providing
first class accommodations in a beautiful rural setting."

"I
thoroughly enjoyed discovering New Zealand's fabled trout waters with
experienced NZ professional guide Peter Warren. The tramp back into a
splendid river valley was highlighted by the successful CPR(catch,
photo, release) of a brilliant 6lb South Island Brown. I benefited from
Peter's expertise and achieved my goal of spotting and fishing to trout
in the crystal NZ water. Can't wait to do it again!"

"I
have been travelling to Finland and Sweden, Austria and France just for
fly fishing but nothing can be compared to that week spent with Peter
February 99 chasing the brownies in NZ. Peter is definitely a very
patient guide. You are also a wonderful companion and I treasure our
friendship."

"Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our stay
at the lodge. Probably the best value for money place we have ever
stayed (and we have stayed at a lot of places). Our overseas visitors
had experienced nothing like it. It made every other place we stayed
seem lacking in one aspect or another. Your hospitality and ability to
know when to leave us to our own devices was just right. When we next
come to Nelson we will definitely try to make arrangements to stay with
you again."

"A wonderful relaxing retreat. Great hospitality and
impressive challenging fishing. A most memorable sector of our holiday".

"Genuine, friendly company - the best B&B we've ever had
- anywhere - set in superb countryside - so good we're going back there
to live."

"My
wife and I had stayed only two nights at your lodge, but it turned out
to be one of the highlights of our vaction. My skill as a fly fisherman
needs a lot of work but your patience put onto the two biggest fish I
have ever caught !! There will be a day when I return to New Zealand and
I know where one of my stops will be !!"

Hello again Peter and Alison.
We
wanted to drop a quick note to thank you again for a wonderful stay at
your lodge. Both Diane and myself greatly enjoyed the relaxing
atmosphere! The opportunity to fish in such fantastic waters is
something I will always remember!
While I cannot guess when I may return, it is definitely in my plans!
Thank you again for your excellent service and hope to hear from you
soon!
Regards,
Dan and Diane Vice
