ALTITUDE FLY FISHING
​
Characterised by the beautiful but extremely rugged Ruahine Range, the northern Manawatu region has a myriad of fine trout waters on offer to explore. From large lowland rivers with high numbers of both rainbow and brown trout to more remote and beautiful small spring-fed or backcountry style streams there is plenty to choose from. These unique places have been local fishing guide Johnny Gummer's home waters for nearly 20 years. ​
For those who have a good fitness and fishing skill level, who want to experience the best our Lower North Island rivers have to offer, our backcountry fishing provides gin-clear water, much larger fish and more sight-fishing opportunities. New Zealand's mountainous terrain is rugged and very wild but encompasses stunningly clear water and forest surroundings - the ultimate prescription for large trout.
Experience the magic of sleeping within the New Zealand wilderness
  • in comfortable tents  
  • or backcountry huts alongside the river valley - little havens for the backcountry fly fisher after an invigorating day in somewhat physically demanding wilderness trout country.
