Drift Boat Fishing

Fishing from a drift boat is a great way to get to parts of a river that are very rarely fished, it's also a relaxing way to fish and can be extremely effective. A day is made up of fishing from the boat, walking the runs, and hunting the backwaters. Guides in the Hawkes Bay and Otago regions have developed drift programs for those looking for a drift angling experience.

Fishing nymphs, dries, and streamers.
