| Fly Fishing in New Zealand New Zealand has long been the world's ultimate fly fishing destination, host to countless pristine waters, and international trout fishing at its finest. Rivers such as the Tongariro, Buller, Eglinton and Mataura hold a fascination for anglers worldwide, who one day dream of sampling the diverse fly fishing opportunities which each water provides. Brown and rainbow trout are on offer, in good numbers, and of equally good size. Whilst many anglers dream of landing that 20 inch fish, in these waters, they abound. Wilderness headwater streams, lowland rivers and hill country burns offer opportunities to anglers of all ages, all levels of fitness, and of all levels of experience. Here at Across NZ we are happy to offer you a variety of fly fishing opportunities, for both guided, and independent anglers. Let us know your available time frame and we will tailor a package to suit your itinerary.
