A Guide Never Stops Exploring

Hints
New Zealand has a world-renowned wild trout fishery and the emphasis is on quality rather than quantity. Certainly there are trophy fish, but there is usually a very good reason that these fish got to be so big!

If you decide to discover New Zealand's fishing on your own, make your stay as long as you can afford. We constantly meet people who wished they had put more time aside to discover the secrets of our fisheries.

Another similarity of new people we guide each year is that they wished they had hired a fishing guide on the first instead of the last day of their precious holiday! It is certainly the best way to get an introduction to New Zealand fishing and ensure a successful fishing holiday without wasting days or more often weeks figuring things out.

Guides
If you are going to use guides, always make sure they are members of the New Zealand Professional Fishing Guide Association (NZPFGA)! This is the best way of getting value for money and service of a truly professional standard.

The NZPFGA is an association of registered guides who commit themselves to a high level of service and standards. Each member guide is vetted for experience and competence before being accepted and is subject to rigorous complaints and disputes procedures. The constitution of the NZPFGA contains a very stringent code of ethics, taking in sound fishing practice and the laws of New Zealand.
