New Zealand Fly Fishing Itineraries and Travel
New Zealand Fly Fishing Itineraries and Travel
Fly fishing provides a shared pastime for men and women, friends, and family. It has the ability to bring one back into contact with our natural world and allows us to appreciate the earth’s great beauty, removing ourselves from the daily grind
New Zealand is special because it is so remote from other places on earth yet so accessible with modern flight! As one of the newest land masses, and last to be settled by humans, it developed a unique ecosystem over millions of years. With special care we can continue to appreciate this great piece of the world.
About the size of California in length and Colorado in land mass, New Zealand is one of the world’s great destinations to fish for wild trout. In a small amount of area, one may find an amazing topography- from sharp mountain peaks to glaciers to lakes and crystal-clear streams. Being stream-born, the fish are notoriously selective in their flies and have been known to fight after being hooked via amazing jumps and long runs.
Although the first trout were imported into the Auckland area in 1861 it was not until 1887 that Browns were introduced to New Zealand from Northern Europe. After people noticed how well the Browns flourished on smelt (or cucumber fish) which frequented the shallow depths in estuaries and rivers around Lake Taupo, Rainbows were introduced from California in the 1890’s.
The service we provide is knowing the best that the country, sport and fishing has to offer. We hope the information on this site is a primer to help get you started and would appreciate if you are thinking about visiting New Zealand if you contacted our team directly. We can make your dollar go farther and provide you with a seamless and unforgettable trip.

New Zealand is such an incredible place to chase trout, but also is home of to one of the prizes for saltwater fishing in New Zealand, the powerful Yellowtail Kingfish. Locally known as Kingi, these fish are robust, muscular and are known for fighting dirty. Once hooked they will immediately try to break you off by diving towards rocks, reefs or the prop on a boat. Beautiful catch for Stella!

Local course Omaha beach is often overlooked simply due to time constraints of intl visitors. However this small beach town north of Auckland is a great place to have a round followed by fresh local cuisine and wine. #omahabeachgc #nzgolf #golfnz #newzealandgolf #tourismnz
