with Matt Butler
Based in Te Anau, Fiordland. I have over 20 years fly-fishing experience and 10 years of that guiding NZ's South Island.
I specialise in sight fishing rivers for both Brown & Rainbow Trout and have intimate knowledge of both the fishery, region and techniques required to have a successful day on water.
My specialty is sight-fishing for wild trout in clear rivers. With decades of spotting experience I focus on only fishing to fish I can see. No blind fishing or guesswork.
No matter what happens, you will leave the day a better angler than when you started. I focus on improving casting, technique and hookup success so you can fish better always.
I pride myself on knowing the best of New Zealand and can offer guidance on the rest of your travels to ensure you get the best out of your trip around our beautiful country.
