I’m a local and have been fly fishing the lower South Island for over 30 years, during that time I have gained expert local knowledge of the many Rivers, Lakes and Streams in this area.

Specialising in “Match the Hatch” sight fishing

If you are a complete novice or seasoned expert I will tailor your experience to your skill level to ensure you can create some life long memories. Contact me now so we can create those memories together.

Single day fishing trips

If you only have limited time a single days guiding is a fantastic way to introduce you to fishing in New Zealand. I’ll pickup from your accommodation in Gore or I could meet you closer to Queenstown or Te Anau if you are staying in those locations, then we will travel for 10 to 60 minutes to the chosen water of the day.

See where Gore is located.

Multi day trips

This is the best way to experience the best fishing the lower South Island has to offer, ranging from freestone rivers, lowland streams, spring creeks and Lakes. You can base yourself in Gore or we can hit the road and stay closer to the next days fishing.

Disclaimer

We do have inclement weather and on the very rare occasion it is not possible to fish safely I reserve the right to cancel or postpone any days fishing if I consider either the conditions or anglers to be unsafe.
