New Zealand Fly Fishing Day Trips
Jack Trout delivered the most exceptional experience ever and accommodated our last minute planning with finesse! As previous clients (fly fishing in Chile), we turned to Jack again; with only a week's notice, Jack found and secured guides for my family (myself and three teenage sons) the day after Christmas near Queenstown, NZ. Our local guides were fantastic...patient, instructional and very accommodating! And the fact that Jack was able to arrange this the day after Christmas was awesome as we were limited to travel schedules during our trip to the South Island. The whole process was simple...from start to finish! Jack was so responsive and communicative, overseeing the coordination from beginning to end (even following up to make sure we had a superb experience.).
We really wanted to fly fish in New Zealand, but having never visited the country, had no idea where to start with locations or guides. Our day fly fishing on the Mataura River was the highlight of our trip to NZ, and we couldn't have experienced it without Jack Trout. Crystal clear river beds, stunning New Zealand countryside, excellent guides and beautiful brown trout made for the most amazing family holiday ever! Thank you, Jack Trout...we can't wait for our next trip with you!-Jack Trout Signature Package
Queenstown Fly Fishing Packages. $3650 USD 7 Nights 6 1/2 Days Fly Fishing With All Meals, Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Plus Guides & River Access. (Per person, 2 angler Minimum. Sunday To Sunday. One Year Fly Fishing License Included, Airfare Not Included.)
Fly into Queenstown, where we transport you to our lodge on the nearby Oreti River, we mainly fly fish for trophy brown trout out of our private lodge. We also guide the Mataura and Wakaia Rivers, which are easy wading and offer many trout in the 2 to 4 lb. range, larger rivers like the Oreti River hold fish in the 5 to 9 lb. range. We do a lot of sight fishing on the bigger rivers for huge trout, so precision casts and a stealth approach is always a key to having success in New Zealand for trophy trout adventures and of course the better you are as an angler, the better you do. We also have streams that offer great action for beginners and are easily accessed for the young at heart, it depends on what ever your heart desires, we are here to make your fly fishing New Zealand adventure, the best it could possible be. Our lodge offers unique local cuisine which literally involves the resources and labor of the whole community which warms the hearts of our valued clientele who are treated as a resident celebrity, enjoying the fruits of the daily lodge endeavors, a labor of love in our eyes.
Whether it’s our hosts, our guides, our world class meals or the atmosphere and cleanliness of our unique lodge, we have something for everyone!
