Hiring a guide in New Zealand is considered a "must do", he will share all the knowledge gained from years of experience on his local waters and knows each river, stream and small creek intimately.
Your Western Rivers Lodge guide will spot the trout and then advise the best fly pattern and casting position to give a drag free drift over the fish.
Once hooked he gives his full attention to landing that wild brown trout, a quick photo for the records and he or she is released gently back into the pool.
Your guide is not only skilled in the art of spotting trout but is an excellent tutor and companion as well, he will offer advice on casting skills and techniques that will enhance your experience whether you are a beginner or advanced angler.
