Fly Fishing

Fly fishing in New Zealand is defined by sight fishing. In many rivers, anglers can spot trout before making a cast, turning each encounter into a careful exercise in observation, patience and precision.

Reaching these waters is often part of the adventure. Access may involve a helicopter flight into remote backcountry, a four-wheel-drive journey through high-country stations, or a walk along pristine river valleys where the only sounds are flowing water and native birdsong.
