We have helicopter fly in fishing opportunities in the Karamea, Hanmer Springs, and Franz Joseph/Fox Glacier regions, providing literally hundreds of kilometers of back country rivers, many of which get light pressure. We work in conjunction with pilots to ensure that the water we fish has been rested prior to your trip. If a reach hasn't been rested for several days, we simply won't fly to fish that water, opting for another instead.

While helicopter fly fishing can be done in a day, we strongly recommend multiple days. There are many locations where we can fish up and downstream of a drop off point. Also, for the truly adventurous, we can fly to one location and fish a couple of days, then hike a few hours to another water. There are many options available, only limited by time. The back country is definitely yours to discover, and helicopter access saves much time and effort!
