NEW ZEALAND FISHING VACATION

"How do we ensure that your fishing experience is the best it can be?  First, we work with multiple guides who offer a diversity of fishing experiences, which can be particularly handy when weather or river conditions necessitate last minute plan changes. Second, we offer unique access to two of the Taupo region's premier rivers. Third, our quote includes everything you need - licenses, waders, rods, reels & flies, accommodation, meals & drinks, even taxes - so there are no nasty surprises. And finally, we capture those whopper fish (digitally, that is), providing photographic evidence of your magical moments. I invite you to contact me directly to discuss your fishing plans and goals."

FishinginNewZealand specialises in delivering first-class fishing vacations (some call them fishing holidays) in the Taupo region, Central North Island, New Zealand.

What does it take to deliver a first-class experience?

Flexibility. Through email dialogue, we work with you to plan your fishing experience, including your accommodations. Ultimately, we agree on a plan and a price. However, the best-laid plans can sometimes be disrupted by the elements - wind, rain, or swollen rivers, for example. That's when our relationship with multiple guides offering diverse experiences pays dividends. For instance, you may be booked for a helicopter fly-in with a back-country guide, but the river may be too swollen to enjoy safely. Plan B options might include a day on the lake harling with Terry - a fish-catching experience even full-blooded fly-fishing purists have enjoyed - or a raft fishing trip on the Mohaka or upper Tongariro river.

Unique access. The Tauranga Taupo river, near the southern end of Lake Taupo, offers some of the finest year-round fishing in our district. Trouble is, getting to the prime pools on this river can involve quite a hike (an hour or more). Through a special relationship with the leaseholders of a riverfront Maori property (Maori are our indigenous people), FishinginNewZealand can deliver its guests by vehicle directly to the prime reaches of this river. The same goes for the pristine Whanganui River, which offers fabulous back-country fishing but for most anglers, is largely inaccessible. Our relationship with Maori landowners provides unique and private access to this river by jeep, quad bike or horseback, eliminating the need to hire a chopper to access wilderness fishing. And in both cases, river cabins are available for overnight or multi-night stays.

No nasty surprises. When we quote you a price, there will be no hidden extras. Licenses? Included. Waders? Included. Rods, reels, flies? Included. Accommodation, meals and drinks? Included. Taxes? Included.

Photographic evidence. Many fishing guides do not have digital cameras, which means that memorable moments can be missed. We equip your guide with a waterproof digital camera so that those magical moments and those whopper fish get captured (digitally that is) for sharing with family and friends. We even burn a complimentary CD for you.
