New Zealand

General NZ information

The spectacular Southern Alps and the rivers that flow from them
(the Worsley, the Greenstone, the Mataura, the Clinton and others)
are some of the most beautiful in the world.

Our programs have everything from camping to deluxe fly-out lodges.

Our "Angler-to-Angler" program was pioneered over thirty years ago.

The Angler-to-Angler Program

This is a unique people-to-people fishing experience. New Zealanders from all walks of life host our clients and friends in their homes for one or two weeks a year. They will take you fishing or show you the attractions in their area.

With our careful matching, many of our hosts and guests have become longtime personal friends. If you would like to experience a lovely country from the inside out, if you would like to fish with a New Zealander on their home waters, if you have a strong feeling about people then talk to us about the "Angler-to-Angler" program.

The South Island

The South Island is the home of the Southern Alps and thousands of miles of magnificent trout streams holding large browns, rainbows and sea trout.

The fishing is the classic "walking and stalking" for large wild trout. It is the more scenic, less populated island, and its residents are wonderfully friendly.

Rivers on the South Island include: the Worsley, the Greenstone, the Mataura, the Clinton and many others.
