New Zealand professional fly fishing guides - Flyfishing guide in the South Island of New Zealand for Wild Brown and Rainbow Trout. Allow Kevin or one of his guides take you on a guided fly fishing vacation to one their 'special spots'. You will love the combination of large trout, uncrowded rivers and striking scenery.

We specialise in making an itinerary tailored to suit you and your holiday plans. Packages or days can start from Christchurch airport or hotel if needed.   A guided day on the river is New Zealand $725 for 1 or 2 persons and includes all equipment and flies, riverside lunch and transport via comfortable 4wd.  We have additional guides available to guide larger groups.


Kevin is your NZPFGA (New Zealand Professional Fishing Guides Association) registered guide which means you get a high standard, quality flyfishing experience. Kevin grew up in the Central South Island / Mackenzie District and shares years of experience with his guests. Kevin is a contributing writer to "New Zealand Troutfisher" and "Reel Life" magazines. The Kiwistyle of spotting and stalking wild rainbow & brown trout is what makes your fishing experience here exciting, challenging, and unique. Being guided is the best way to maximize your fishing time while in the South Island.  Your guide, Kevin, specialises in spotting fish with a trained eye and puts you in the best position to try and fool these crafty trout with nymphs, dry flies, or emergers. Most rivers are accessed by 4WD and involve some walking, the degree depending on your fitness!  Driftboat fishing is an option to get into those hard to access areas, or if mobility is an issue floating down a river can save a lot of walking.

We look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan a vacation of a lifetime.

Testimonials:

Kevin introduced us to the some special Kiwi techniques necessary for success. This is fishing by sight and if you don't have a good spotter like Kevin you are wasting your time. He picked us up at our hotel and provided everything we needed. My wife was a complete beginner and thanks to Kevin’s instruction is now completely addicted to fly fishing. His laid back style and knowledge of the area make Kevin an excellent choice for the beginner or expert. Highly Recomended!!!! Mr & Mrs. A.W., Maui, USA
