New Zealand's Technical Waters | Flockhill Fly Fishing

Flockhill sits in the heart of world-class fly fishing territory, with pristine rivers, elusive brown and rainbow trout, and scenery that makes every cast unforgettable. This is not an introduction to the sport - our waterways are technical, our trout are wary, and success requires patience, skill, and a respect for the craft. For anglers who already understand the nature of fly fishing, Flockhill offers a rare chance to test your skill against some of the most rewarding fisheries in New Zealand.

The Independent Angler

Perfect for advanced anglers who want to get on the water with light support. Spend a morning with a Flockhill guide on hand to assist with access, logistics, and safety- while leaving the fishing itself to you. Equipment can be borrowed if needed, though many anglers bring their own.

The Committed Angler

For intermediate anglers who want the very best of Flockhill’s fisheries, the Committed Angler option pairs you with a professional fly fishing guide. These experts know the waters intimately and help you navigate challenging terrain while honing your approach. It’s demanding, technical fishing, but for those who relish the pursuit, the reward is exceptional.
