Canterbury, New Zealand
• Many fishermen travel the world in search of opportunities to catch big wild trout. While this search might take them all over the globe, New Zealand is one of the rare places where an array of fishing experiences are available in an easy-to-access, California-sized chunk of land. The South Island contains a variety of fishing experiences and the stand-out areas are Nelson, Canterbury, West Coast and the Lower South Island.
If you're the type of fisherman who likes to fish big rivers crashing down mountains – as well as hiking up streams that drain high elevation sheep ranches You'll also discover spring creeks that get squeezed out of the ground at the base of large mountains and gentle streams. – you'll find these experiences relatively short distances from the Lodge (in some cases less than 10 minutes!). Some of the best fishing is found in local lakes. No matter what kind of trout water you like best, we'll find it for you.
