	"New Zealand's fishing is what our west was like 100 years ago."  Lefty Kreh

    New Zealand is THE destination for fly fishers.  It is generally viewed as supporting the type of trout resources that we had in our western rivers in the United States a century ago.  "Lots of big fish" is the norm.

A multi-faceted fly fishing experience

    This trip is designed for those who have graduated from one of our "undergraduate" courses, or those who have equivalent fly fishing skills or experience.  It is not particularly suited to the beginner.  It offers some of the best fly fishing in the world for large Brown & Rainbow Trout in rivers and streams on the South Island of New Zealand.

    We will be fishing the Southland on several miles of the famous Mataura River.  Known for its fine mayfly hatches, particularly at this time of year, the Mataura holds fish in abundance and extraordinary size.  We selected this area for its variety and because it lends itself to fishing without a guide every day.  An abundance of other water is available during the 6 full days allotted for fly fishing.  There are 27 rivers and streams within an hour's drive of our headquarters.  We have also scheduled a couple of days in historic Queenstown and the opportunity to experience its variety of activities.
