Trout Fishing New Zealand - the perfect way to relax - in the perfect environment.
Trout fishing New Zealand. Those words conjur up images of cool, clear streams, tight lines, and the battle between man and fish.
Trout were introduced to New Zealand between 1860 and 1880. The cool, crystal clear lakes and rivers throughout New Zealand provide the perfect environment for both rainbow and brown trout to thrive. And for the recreational angler, the range of locations on both the North and South Islands is seemingly endless.
But if you are travelling to New Zealand specifically to fish for trout, how can you be sure that you choose the right location(s)? You may choose to fish by yourself, but in an unfamiliar environment that could be a bit hit and miss.
In our opinion, the best way to make the most of the stunning New Zealand fishing environment is to take an organised trip, using an experienced guide.
Fishing in New Zealand is a New Zealand owned and operated business, dedicated to providing you with the ultimate trout fishing experience.
Their all inclusive New Zealand fishing vacations offer fishing for rainbow or brown trout in some of New Zealand's best locations, combined with accommodation in a luxury lodge or wilderness cabin.
They aim to provide you with an experience that you will savour. Here are some comments from some very happy customers:
"Our trip was fabulous! I can't think of a thing you should change. We both enjoyed the fishing. The variation of rivers makes the fishing very interesting. The experience was top rate. I certainly would not hesitate to rebook or to recommend you to friends."
Bruce & Marcia, Colorado, USA
"Rob, we want you to know that the hosts and guides exceeded our expectations. It's always a little risky when trying to arrange something of this magnitude using email. As you can imagine, we've engaged our fair share of guides here in the U.S. We put Dax & Jeremy at the top of experiences. We've all great stories to tell our friends."
Chuck Schlimpert, Oregon, USA.
