Freestone Rivers, Spring Creeks & Stillwaters

Picking a location for your fly fishing trip to New Zealand can be difficult - there is good trout fishing available all over the country. We recommend you choose a location with multiple water-type options - that way, you can be assured of some great fishing regardless of conditions.

Grey River: Its always nice to fish a freestone river, surrounded by mountains and forests in a pristine environment.

The West Coast region boasts an abundance of waterways. It also has almost 80% native rain-forest coverage, set in a vast backdrop of National Parks, Scenic Reserves and State Forests.

A summer day, a spring creek.... a "heavy rain" haven for a fly fisherman!
