The Fishing and the Guides
There is a common misconception that customization depends on your budget…. but we think it’s more about being open to new experiences.
This outfitter helps you create an authentic, custom fishing itinerary that matches your budget. There is so much to see, do and experience in New Zealand, and your time is short, so too often your vacation turns into rushed tours of the top 10 sights. This trip isn’t like that at all. It’s about experiencing a true, unique connection with the land, people and culture while fly fishing along the way.
This is a great time to be a fly fisherman, and fly fishing doesn’t get purer than this. Although, we don’t recommend New Zealand fly fishing trips for novice fishermen. These fish are big, old and spooky, and on top of that, there aren’t a ton of them. If you are a good caster, and you’re ready to sight fish to big, hard to catch trout, this is the trip for you.
