A little about myself.
I'm a fifth generation New Zealander. I was brought up on the family farm on the banks of the Rakaia River in the Rakaia Gorge where both salmon fishing and fly fishing were family passions.
I've been a keen fisherman for over 30 years so I know our local region well. The 2002-03 fishing season will be my 6th season as a professional guide.
I specialise in sight fishing for the brown and rainbow trout that inhabit the rivers, streams, and lakes of our local area. And also in up river salmon fishing which is an added bonus when fishing in this area.
There are few greater pleasures than to stalk our magnificent trout amongst the peace, solitude and majestic scenery of the Southern Alps. New Zealand is indeed a paradise for both fly fishermen and fly fishing guides alike.
