NZ Trout Fishing
Rainbow and Brown Trout

The Lake Wanaka region offers an impressive array of angling opportunities to the visiting fisherman.

Set in truly magnificent scenery, the area boasts three major lakes, a host of small still waters and a number of quality streams and rivers, from small intimate snow fed streams to the mighty Clutha River - New Zealand's largest.

The Clutha, Hawea and part of the Matukituki Rivers are open all year round but in other rivers the season runs from 01 Nov - 31 May. Check your license or go with a guide.
As most Rivers are located within Mt Aspring National Park, it's advisable to contact a local guide for the best experience.  We recommend the following operators:
