Brent, Great to fish with you!

Brent, Great to fish with you! I've been many places, but that was truly special. Great company, good fishing, and lot of laughs! Cannot wait to see the pictures- I'm already warning my fishing buddies to prepare to drool! And the book will be great conversation in the man cave at our new home!

Just a quick note to thank you from the 3 old geriatric fishermen aka the 3 Blind Mice and sharing your magnificent secret of the Rangitikei River.

It wasn’t until we flew into your remote campsite that I realised what we had to offer in NZ in the way of rugged isolated splendour.

Successful dry fly fishing for large trout in a pristine environment – it doesn’t get much better than this.

I suppose that even the most generous hearted fly-fisher will have one secret fishing location that remains undisclosed to anyone. This would represent “Bucket List” material of course.

Thanks so much for giving them such a superb introduction into fly fishing.

Thanks so much for taking the boys - Henry who has never been interested in NZ especially when I get so excited about the All Blacks now wants to buy a house here in Taupo.

We really had a great time with you!

Very grateful for your hospitality off the river and skill on it.

She charged about like Dan Carter with his pants on fire, whilst I held the rod high to keep the leader away from the rocks lurking like an underwater Michael Cullen waiting to separate me from my treasure.

Rafting the world famous Tongariro River is a great way to combine fishing with some tremendous white water thrills. With our experienced rafting guides we begin our day drifting down the river looking for trout as we go.

Due to the local fishing regulations we cannot fish from the raft, so we work our way down river stopping to fish the many pools and runs which make up this world renowned fishery. We will be fishing with both dry’s and nymphs.

All the equipment and lunch is provided. Available from December 1st.

Overnight and Multi-day Excursions

This rafting experience can also be extended to an overnight trip giving the angler a chance to experience the evening rise. We can also recommend other rivers that are suitable for two or four day excursions and we can provide further information for your consideration upon request.

This option is a must if you have the time as you will be immersed in the most beautiful environment you will ever see - fishing magnificent waters for both rainbow and brown trout. Each trip will be tailored to your level of experience and the fishing is simply fantastic!

These trips require you to camp under canvas. We provide everything you need and we can assure you that you will be extremely comfortable ensuring an enjoyable evening with a meal by the roaring camp fire.
