About your guide

|
- Barry lives and fishes locally and considers
it a privilege to guide visiting anglers on the Mataura and other
Southland Rivers.
- Member of the New Zealand Professional Fishing
Guides Association (NZPFGA).
- Barry is fully qualified in First Aid and
CPR, and always carries the necessary first aid kit.
- Barry specialises in Dry Fly and Nymph fishing
and always carries two fully rigged rods for clients, one for
Dry Fly fishing, the other for Nymphing, so that he can fish off
the top whenever there are rising fish without wasting your valuable
fishing time re-tying flies.
- After living in Southland for many years
Barry knows the rivers intimately, and friendships with local
landowners allows him access to some epic fishing spots.
- Barry has fished in a number of countries
including England, Wales, Finland, Austria and Canada, and can
truthfully say that the Mataura River can hold it’s own
with any water that he has been fortunate enough to fish.

fee. Very occasionally a booking may need to be amended or cancelled
due to river or weather conditions. As this is no fault of either
party, Barry believes the client should not be financially disadvantaged. |
