Specialist in fly fishing to sighted large Brown and Rainbow trout in the South Islands back country rivers.New Zealand fly fishing has long held an outstanding reputation with the traveling angler as being one of the worlds best fly fishing destinations. The combination of seemingly endless amounts of river types, amazing wild stocks of large Brown and Rainbow trout, combined with world class fly-fishing guides, world class accommodations and the Kiwis (New Zealanders) sincere hospitality that sets the scenes for the worlds ultimate fly fishing experience.

The best of New Zealand's fly fishing guides are highly recognised for their ability at "sight fishing", their background knowledge of these endless freestone river systems and access points and most importantly of all is their ability to connect and work with their clients in order to produce enjoyable and productive days fishing in this endless fly fishing paradise.

This sight fishing technique is a skill that defines the "top" fly fishing guides as their ability to sight these sometimes ghostly or seemingly transparent like trout among the confusion of rocks and ripples, runs and rapids, and clear mountain pools is truly a skill to behold.

Hi Paul,

I get a report from all my clients on their NZ trips and thought you would enjoy these comments from Andy Baxter excerpted from his report:

The big event was Paul. Don, this young man has to be on my very short list as the best guide I have ever had, and I've had a bunch. Now, at the end of the day, it's all about the fish, and I know that -- rare that someone complains about the guide if the fishing is great, and rarer still that the guide gets high grades if the fishing is poor. And we had as good a 4 days as one can have. But this guy is the best. Every category. Personality, knowledge, access to water, hard-working, great coach, high energy, and flexible. Just sensational. You need to fish with this guy yourself, which I know you haven't. Incidentally, he was clear about the fact that he would not show you some of the water that he took us to because of your role as an outfitter and that the word would spread. Why he elected to take us where he did is beyond me. We did have a good first day, and we delivered the goods, but still, it seemed like he gave us the best he had in his arsenal. The rainbow attached was 10-11 pounds and took about 20 minutes and 300-400 yards of downstream racing. Paul gave us textbook New Zealand fishing and we will never forget it. It was the centerpiece of the whole trip.

Thanks for taking such good care of my clients. Thanks,

Don Muelrath(Inbound Fly Fishing agent/operator, USA)
