Amazing experience! Ash was very knowledgeable, patient and personable. We caught 3 large trout and the other group of 2 (who shared the boat) caught another 2 trout. There were enough rods for all 4 of us and Ash taught us how to use all of the gear. We were also able to keep our catches (you can keep 2 per person on the NZ day fishing license) and Ash even helped to gut them on the boat so we could easily BBQ back at the camp. This was the best tour we did whilst in NZ and I would recommend to everyone! Thank you to Ash for an awesome trip.
Amazing and experienced guide! Go for this!

Ash was extremely friendly and patient with all the queries we had. And it was obvious that he had a passion and deep knowledge about fishing and was very competent in guiding and facilitating our learning and experience. Suitable for either beginners or experienced folks cos he will be able to adapt accordingly. Thanks Ask! Tat from Singapore!

Fishing was Ashley was great! Learned all about fish behaviour and how to fish at different depths. We all caught trouts! We were late for half an hour but Ashley (and our lovely friends from Netherlands) very gracefully accommodated us. A must book!
