The Central North Island of New Zealand offers the angler unrivalled fly fishing opportunities. There is an amazing variety of water to enjoy, from small clear mountain streams offering sight fishing to relatively large rivers where you will fish blind. Both Browns and Rainbows are present in most waters with Rainbows predominating. All fish are wild and the hard fighting Rainbows in particular, can test the skills of even the best angler.

Although a few of the rivers have some short winter closeouts this is truly a year round fishery. Nymph fishing tends to be the most productive, but the warmer summer months from January to April offer excellent Dry Fly fishing.

Approximately thirty rivers and streams in the Rotorua/Taupo area can be accessed from Rotorua on day excursions and you can expect to catch fish ranging from 2lb to 6lb with the odd larger one. We have access to private land as well as some excellent public waterways and our clients will often not see another angler all day.

We normally collect our clients around 8am and return them to their accommodation around 6pm or a little later. A superb riverside lunch and refreshments are provided on all day excursions and we will issue your fishing licence.

For those who wish to spend a little more time with us we offer fully inclusive packages from two to five days utilising a delightful cottage we have in the Ruakituri valley, and situated only a short distance from the legendary Ruakituri river. This river, situated in one of the most remote parts of the country consistently produces both Rainbows and Browns well in excess of 5lb with double figure fish not uncommon. A number of other smaller streams in the area will provide you with challenging sight fishing opportunities.

You will encounter some of the most stunning scenery this country has to offer as you travel through the Te Urewera forest park with it's ancient stands of untouched native trees and the magnificence of Lake Waikaremoana in it's midst. This area is steeped in Maori history and offers the true New Zealand wilderness experience.

Our packages include superb catering, generous pre dinner drinks and New Zealand wines with dinner.

We can handle groups of up to four anglers on these packages.

We have some superb wilderness rivers offering true trophy fishing which can only be accessed by helicopter. Weather conditions can alter longstanding arrangements so one should be prepared to revert to a 4WD trip if flying conditions are unsuitable on the day.

A twenty minute helicopter ride can take you to areas that often take three days to reach on foot. This is an ideal option for those on a tight schedule who wish to experience true wilderness fishing.

Your guide will carry all appropriate safety equipment including Emergency Locator Beacon and Flares.

Whether you have a day or a week allow us to make some recommendations to suit your time frame.
