Rates: • Half Day Trip: $600 NZD for one angler, $650 NZD for two anglers • Full Day Trip: $800 NZD for one angler, $850 NZD for two anglers What You Can Expect: Half-Day Trip I will give you a fantastic introduction to fly fishing NZ if you are on a tight time schedule! You will be picked up by 4WD vehicle from your accommodation, or met on route to the river, and taken to a local waterway for a fun morning of guided fly fishing. I will normally have you back at your accommodation around lunchtime (lunch not included in half-day). Afternoons are available too, please contact me for details. Full-Day Trip I will pick you up in or near Dunedin by 4WD vehicle, or at a prearranged location (Queenstown, Lumsden etc) if you are located further afield. Travel time to our chosen water for the day varies from 30 - 120 minutes depending on time of year, weather, and water conditions. Approx 8 hours fishing time, then returned to your destination in the evening. Like on any trip option full professional guidance, instruction (if needed), and care is provided for you. Additional Information  The weather can be highly changeable at any time in NZ, particularly the South, sometimes we can experience all 4 seasons in one day! I recommend you bring a quality waterproof & windproof rain jacket (dull colours in all fishing clothing if possible) , sun hat, and enough warm layers for the day. A small backpack is useful to bring along for this and other personal items. For most of the season in NZ we 'wet wade' in either quick-drying pants or pollyprop thermals and shorts. Good footwear is important to bring – sturdy boots (they will get wet!). I have a limited range of neoprene wading socks (keeps your feet warm while wet wading), waders and/ or wading boots available for hire at $50 per angler per day, if wanted - please let me know in advance. If you wish to bring along your own fishing gear that is ok – I recommend a 9ft 6 weight, med-fast action fly rod, and a WF6 floating fly line. Polaroid sunglasses are a must for sight fishing to see into the water, and for your safety, which I can supply if you don’t have any. Please remember felt soled wading boots are banned in New Zealand so bring rubber soled ones only. The trout fishing season opens October 1st and closes on April 30th for most rivers in the South. We still have some great waters open in May, so please take advantage of this! December to March is peak season down here for visiting anglers, however great fly fishing is available for you right throughout the season. Outstanding dry fly, nymph, and streamer fishing are experienced all season in the New Zealand fishery, with hatches and patterns changing month to month. Our techniques will vary depending on time of year, weather patterns, and type of water we are on. We have a winter season too, June – September. Primarily for the lakes, and some rivers, so this gives us a season that never ends and many opportunities for you. I guide year - round, get in touch for winter specials!
