New Zealand Professional Fishing Guides Association

Since you’re reviewing this site you’re probably thinking about travelling to New Zealand to try your hand at what Zane Grey described as the “Angler's Eldorado”. The fresh water fishery in New Zealand is unique in the world. There is no other place on earth with the water clarity combined with the size of the trout you will find here. This combination provides unparalleled  sight fishing opportunities that only New Zealand offers in the world of trout fishing.  It is hunting and stalking with a fly rod, walking up stream in the pursuit of large, wild brown and rainbow trout. Less known, is the outstanding salt water fishing that's on offer
