BOOK YOUR TRIP

Joel takes bookings well in advance, so enquire today to secure your preferred travel dates.

Guided Full Day

A full day for 1 – 2 anglers. Either Joel can plan it all, or we can make a plan based on your goals for the day. Whether you want to put in some miles, or stay closer to home with something quieter, we’ll make the day something to remember.

Want something shorter? Contact Joel and we can look at a part-day, whatever suits your schedule.

Can’t make it to Gore? Joel can arrange to meet closer to Queenstown or Te Anau if that is your preferred base.

Multi-day Trips

Multiple full days for 1 – 2 anglers.

Want to get the most out of your trip? Get the chance to build on the day before, apply those new tactics, experience different waters and new scenery. It’s also the best insurance against unpredictable weather ruining a dream trip.
Hands down, the best way to fish New Zealand.

Joel will pick you up each morning and return you to the comfort of your accomodation each night.
