Fishing In Wanaka, South Island New Zealand

Wanaka, South Island New Zealand, offer a unique fishing experience for all anglers : drift fishing. Using a raft as a platform to cast from, we are able to fish where shore based fishermen can only dream of. The raft also gives us the ability to travel  for kilometres down some of the most pristine and trout rich rivers anywhere in the world.

Driftfishing along the clear waters, we can easily sight fish - pull up in an eddy, and reel in a New Zealand Rainbow or Brown Trout.

We specialise in drift fishing for fly fisherman but we also have good success with spin fishing.

You don't even need to be a fisherman to enjoy meandering downstream and taking in all the wonders of nature in the splendour of this majestic wilderness!
