Mike Kirkpatrick
Your Professional Fly-fishing / Brown Trout Fishing Guide, Nelson, New Zealand

The Nelson region, at the top of the South Island, provides some of New Zealand's best trout fishing

It's a fly-fishing paradise for anglers. The sheer abundance of pristine rivers, and waterways in this region provide literally hundreds of miles of plentiful fly fishing water ~ all within a couple of hours drive.

The quality of these waterways is amazing, no two rivers are the same; from the slightly tannin stained West Coast, to the gin clear headwaters of Kahurangi National Park you will be spoilt for choice of the locations available. See our regional map for locations of Nelson fly-fishing rivers & waterways.
