Trout fishing information and pricing
The Canterbury and West Coast regions of the South Island of New Zealand produce excellent fishing for both brown and rainbow trout throughout the summer season (October to April inclusive). The fishing opportunities in these areas are many and varied. Stalking large trout in crystal clear spring creeks, fishing the evening caddis rise in lowland pastoral streams or "boots and shorts" fishing in the foothills of the mighty Southern Alps are just some of the options.

Within a 90 minute drive of Christchurch International Airport you could be casting a small damsel fly nymph on a high country mountain tarn for cruising brown trout, or pitching a large "cicada" dry fly into a boisterous run on a mountain stream in search of a rainbow trout hidden in the depths. In early spring, there is excellent evening fishing to be had for large sea run brown trout in the lowland streams and rivers of Canterbury. These bright silver fighting fish can reach upwards of 12lbs and will test angler and tackle to their limits.

Catch and release is encouraged to protect New Zealand's unique fishery for future generations.

Conservation mounts of trophy catches are available for those who want more of a memento of a trip than photographs alone can provide.
