Bodhi Trout Fly Fishing Adventure

This fly-fishing adventure is ideal for those who'd like an introduction to the sport through to keen, experienced anglers.

Discover the world-class fly fishing rivers of the South Island, teeming with Brown and Rainbow trout, with your knowledgeable guide, Declan Wong, with over 20 years experience of the fly fishing rivers of Canterbury, Queenstown, Southland and FIordland.

Half Day Fishing Adventure

This is an ideal adventure for one adult and one child where you can introduce your child to fly fishing, learn to cast and spot fish, and maybe catch your own trout.
If you're experienced yourself, we're happy to guide you to and at some of our favourite local rivers – we know the secret, remote and beautiful spots to ensure you have an exciting and rewarding trip!
We'll work alongside you, or with any accompanying beginners, to provide instruction on choosing your fly, casting and placing, and of course, what to do when your fish bites!
Note: fly fishing, or angling, can be a rewarding and addictive sport, that takes you to some of the earth's most beautiful and unspoiled places. It is an art form however, and beginners in your party may not catch their own fish.
However, we ensure they have an exciting and informative introduction and a great family day out!
