Fishing Options with Green Trout Guiding
Options;
On-foot guiding; This is the most common form of guiding where angler (s) and guide walk a section of a particular river hunting for trout. Generally not much more than 4 kilometers is walked up stream and then back to the vehicle. The distance is determined by the amount of fish or the physical ability of the angler.
Raft; This option is where the angler (s) are rowed down a section of the Rangitikei River moving from pool to pool again searching for trout. This option removes the issue of walking all day. Jim Rainey does the rafting and is a qualified grade 3 river guide. He has been rafting this river for ten years and employs a "safety first" concept. The raft trip is merely a mode of transport from pool to pool rather than a "thrill seeking" day.
Helicopter
fly outs; These days, although relatively
expensive, enable the angler to get into water not normally frequented
by other people. The chances of getting into more undisturbed fish are
greatly increased.
Camping; This can be done with either the raft or helicopter or on foot. Usually we would go into remote areas for up to 5 days and camping out in tents adds another dimension to the angling experience.
