Our government run NIWA (national information water atmosphere) organisation has some good information on both brown and rainbow trout.

New Zealand fly fishing

One of my clients said to me "Craig, when you're a fly fishing guide, you're either a hero or a goat".
It's easy to be a hero when the weather and water conditions are on our side, but fly fishing in New Zealand can sometimes involve wind, rain, and cloud. I go the extra mile to get the best possible fishing out of your day.
If I think we're wasting our time, I'll tell you up front.

Wanaka fly fishing questions?

Please feel free to contact me with any questions about fly fishing around the Wanaka and Southern Lakes region.
I've been a professional fly fishing guide for over 10 years, and have been fortunate enough to have guided anglers of all abilities and fitness levels.
I realise it can be a daunting task organising a fishing trip, especially to such a remote location as New Zealand, so if in doubt, ask!
