Yes I've got the fly fishing expertise and local knowledge so you'll have the fishing trip of a lifetime. But don't worry… I know when to shut up and let you savour every moment.

Fly fishing guide, Kiwi Pete

New Zealand's Southland region offers you endless opportunities to pit your angling skills against cunning brown and lightening-fast rainbow trout. But, without local knowledge in such a popular world-class fly fishing region, it's so much harder for you to find productive yet quiet spots away from the crowds. And then there are whole stretches of premium fishable water you can only reach with permission landowners rarely give to strangers.

Can you read the local conditions so you're fishing in the right places? Do you know where and when hatches are occurring? What the trout are taking, their behaviours and the best tactics to use? Have you got the right permissions or transport to even reach them? How much time do you want to spend finding the right spot rather than actually fishing?

Guided fly fishing gives you unbeatable experiences

With me guiding you won't waste time — you'll get more time actually fishing. Fishing that's perfectly suited to what you're looking to get from your trip. Whether that's stalking trophy trout in wilderness high-country headwaters or meeting the full spectrum of trout fishing challenges our Southland rivers hold.

Affordable guided fly fishing

My rates are just NZ$600 for a full day's guided fly fishing (and I do mean a full day). Just think of the extra fishing time you'll get, all that local knowledge on tap and somewhere there to see, even record, your triumphs… for unforgettable fishing call me on +64 3 248 5279 or email kiwipete.
