Poronui Ranch

Located one hour from Taupo on 20,000 acres of private ranch and wilderness lands near Taupo on the North Island. Over 25 miles of private water offers sight fishing for rainbow and browns averaging three pounds. Both spring creek and freestone water is available, plus fly-outs to some of the most amazing fishing in New Zealand. Meals are hearty and revolve around the fishing. Short-term visitors can take advantage of this wonderful operation.

Owen River Lodge

Set on 16 acres of farmland and gardens, on the banks of the Owen River near Murtchison, this 10 angler lodge is in the middle of some diverse and abundant (30 places within an hour) fishing. While it is all about the fishing with seasoned guide staff, you will enjoy the tasteful lodge and cottage accommodations and the stunning food using fresh local ingredients.

Cedar Lodge

When we think of New Zealand, towering mountains, secluded rain forest valleys, and transparent mountain streams come to mind. So does Cedar Lodge, which offers views up the spectacular Wilken River Valley to lush surrounding mountains.  One of the best fishing programs in New Zealand. The completely modern lodge will accommodate eight anglers. Your host, pilot and guide, Dick Fraser, has daily fly-outs to remote waters offering oversize rainbow and brown trout. You will use the lodge's own helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft, landing on private strips or inside Mt. Aspiring National Park. Jet boats and four-wheel drive are used when weather precludes flying.

Back Country Trout

The scenic Central South Island is home to some of the finest fly fishing for Rainbow and Brown Trout. Fish the varied waters from the high country's snow fed rivers to the lowland spring creeks. Kevin Payne is your guide to stalking large  fish in uncrowded waters while enjoying the spectacular scenery. Lodging is arranged at farm stays and B & Bs in the area at reasonable costs. Trips are arranged according to your fishing interests and typically range from 3 to 10 days. This is a "moveable feast".

Tongariro Lodge

This luxurious lodge is on the banks of the Tongariro River, close to beautiful Lake Taupo. It is easily reached by a one-hour flight from Auckland to Taupo and a 40-minute transfer. Accom­mo­dations, food, service and atmosphere are first class. Fishing is by car, boat, fixed-wing, helicopter, or on foot. Some wonderful fishing is found on a dozen rivers within a small radius of the lodge. Something is available during every part of the season. Length of stay and number of days guiding are optional at guests’ choice. A perfect break for the traveling business person. Price based on double occupancy and includes food, lodging, guiding and a 12.5% tax. Helicopter flyouts available, as is do-it-yourself fishing. Summer season is Dec.-April, with year around fishing. Your host is Tony Hayes.

Lake Brunner Lodge

The oldest and most remote fishing lodge in New Zealand, located near the West Coast of the South Island. Surrounded by over 20 trout streams. Many of these waters are rich spring creeks with big brown trout. Everyone appreciates the warm hospitality and fine cuisine, while non-anglers enjoy a diversity of environmental activities and local artisans.
