The map to the right shows New Zealand's south island. Our guiding area is hilighted in yellow. Within our operating area, there are literally dozens of waters to fish, from small spring creeks, seasonal streams, small to large rivers, and a variety of lakes. The opportunities are endless. The other key is that we are situated to be able to quickly move east-west, across the island in times of different weather conditions that impact our waters.

We are located in the resort town of Hanmer Springs. The drive from the international airport in Christchurch is a good introduction, acting as a doorway to the more rugged terrain found north/south-west of our location. Hanmer Springs was built up around the Hanmer Springs pools.
