Fishing waters

There are so many rivers in the area, the choice becomes almost overwhelming. The different rivers and streams offer different challenges. They include the:

- Motueka

- Wangapeka

- Travers

- Wairau

The fishing
  • Single day fishing trips swight fishing in crystal clear water for large fish, with the option of covering a lot or a little ground on foot during a day's fishing.
  • Multi day fishing and camping trips. Note that tramping and fishing requires a good degree of fitness. It can be more demanding - but rewarding.
  • Helicopter fly-ins
  • A good day may see up to 10 or even more fish landed. Most fish will be in the 3-6 lb range with some up to 8lbs or larger.
  • Catch, photograph and release your trout
  • A full range of quality gear is available
  • When guiding, Aaron does not fish but does carry a rod as a spare
