New Zealand's lower North Island has a very unique and broad spectrum of brown & rainbow trout water, mostly within a short 20 - 90min drive. From small spring creeks, to medium - large freestone front country rivers to rugged and remote head water fisheries within native forest. 

The lower North Island has a comparatively high trout density and low angler density to other regions within New Zealand. The average trout size here is 3-4lbs (18-22inches) with regular opportunity at 5-7lb 22-25inch fish and with a concerted effort the chance of shots at 7-10lb wild trout.

Predominate Rivers we fish within a 90 minute drive such as the Rangitikei, Tukituki, Manawatu, Mangatainoka, Otaki and Ruamahanga River systems. 

A typical day starts with pick up ( generally 7-7:30am) allowing 7-9 hours of good fishing time before drop-off (generally 5-6pm).​
