Our heli-fishing adventures focus on the early season, when New Zealand’s trophy brown trout are at their best. By helicopter, we access one of our remote South Island rivers renowned for crystal-clear water and challenging sight-fishing opportunities.

Each trip is guided by licensed professionals, ensuring expert knowledge and safe access to wilderness waters. These adventures are designed for anglers who want to experience the most pristine backcountry environments without the need for multi-day hiking.

The transfer flights transport you into landscapes few ever see, where each pool holds the possibility of a once-in-a-lifetime trout.

We offer five exclusive New Zealand lodges as your base camp for multi-day guided fishing adventures. Each lodge provides refined hospitality and access to world-class rivers, with locally registered guides ensuring expert support.

Whether you want guided fishing, heli-fly-outs, or curated non-angling experiences such as wine tasting, golf, or scenic flights, we can craft a bespoke itinerary to suit your interests and schedule.

For visitors with limited time or who prefer not to stay in a lodge, we can connect you with recommended guides for single or half-day guided trips, including drift boat options, or you can use our Concierge Service and Confidential River Routing™ planning to maximize your DIY angling in New Zealand

For fit and experienced anglers, our guided walk-in expeditions explore the untouched rivers of Fiordland and the remote West Coast. Traveling light, we base ourselves in backcountry huts or tent camps, giving you exclusive access to pristine waters where solitude, and trophy browns, are part of the reward.

Each expedition is guided by NZ licensed experienced guides and tailored to your skill level and goals, whether you’re chasing large trout or simply seeking the high-country wilderness experience.

We handle all the details, from river access to multi-day itineraries, for a seamless and unforgettable adventure.

We have developed a comprehensive fly fishing program to access the best West Coast, South Island, backcountry rivers by vehicle and helicopter. You and our guide stay at the glorious Lake Brunner Eco Lodge in the heart of New Zealand’s West Coast.

Let us help design your South Island itinerary. We generally recommend to stay 2-3 nights at the lodge which allows for 2 full days fishing and a third day on local waters before heading over to Christchurch, up to Nelson, or down to Haast and onto Wanaka/Queenstown. We’re happy to talk through your early plans with you.

Access the trophy rivers of South Westland and Haast using our guides and the Wilderness Eco Lodge as your base.

The southwest corner of New Zealand’s South Island is home to mouse-eating, aggressive wild brown trout of epic proportions. Te Anau is a good base for a week of exploration angling. We can arrange an itinerary, guides, great dining and wilderness expeditions (daily or overnight) to some of the best fly fishing you will ever experience, anywhere on Planet Earth.

With our local connections, we can arrange every aspect to your luxury stay at The Lindis. Bookings need to be made over a season ahead so get in touch with plenty of time to add a stay in the spectacular Ahuriri Valley to your South Island luxury fly fishing itinerary.
