FISHING

Discover some of the best backcountry fishing locations New Zealand has to offer with the experienced fly fishing guides of BackCountry Concepts. Fish for Trophy Brown or Rainbow Trout amidst the backdrop of the mighty Southern Alps with www.backcountry-nz.com

"Only a passionate fly fisher could have designed this place. An exquisite combination of aesthetic grandeur and the practical elements of streamside cover, transparent water and a healthy population of feisty lunkers with enough savvy to spurn a poor presentation. Nothing we had seen on this trip or any of our previous forays around the world could compare. Climbing through the fence at the Home Pool, we  spotted a Rainbow Trout which Woodsy estimated at somewhere between 12 and 14 lbs. It was undoubtedly the biggest wild fish I have ever seen. Unfortunately, its lie was so cunningly selected that any approach without the cover of darkness would have put the fish down. Just seeing it was enough..." from "Paradise Found", Michael Timbrell, Director, Sydney, Australia
