The ultimate fishing adventure pursuing wild brown trout throughout New Zealand's beautiful Southern Lakes and West Coast areas.
Clamber along the banks of rivers, lakes & streams, be inspired by majestic scenery, through beech forests or golden tussock country, search for your trout, then put your skills to the test.
After your fishing experience take time to relax and enjoy the offerings of paradise.

We offer all types of fishing adventures, it is not necessary to be a master fly fisher.
The specific location depends on client preferences and prevailing weather patterns. Because our service utilises a helicopter, we are able to find favourable weather conditions and provide you with the best available location.
We pick excellent fishing locations, which come from many years of experience in the area. Average fish weights are 5-6lbs with 7-8lbs trophy fish not uncommon.
Our Helicopter can either pick you up from your accommodation or we can arrange transport to our base depending availability and your preferences.

Seasons
The South Island fishing season runs from October to April (inclusive) with each month offering a different range of conditions...

October: Most rivers carry more water due to the snow melt. Nymph fishing of exceptional quality is available in most places.

November: From mid November the weather becomes more stable. This is reflected in river flows. A combination of nymph and dry fly angling. Excellent fishing.

December - January: Generally lower rivers. Usually, exceptional dry fly fishing and small nymphs.

February - April: Low clear waters. Challenging fishing. The time to explore hidden places.
