I had the opportunity to visit New Zealand earlier this year for a much anticipated Fall fly fishing adventure.
This was my fourth fishing trip to NZ so I had some experience and expectations as to the fantastic yet challenging fishing that awaited me.
Ben was a superb guide that provided the level of local knowledge and service that I greatly depended upon.
Ben addressed all the logistical details in a most professional manner and therefore, my attention was squarely focused on chasing massive NZ brown trout.
Ben got me into some very beautiful fish in several different rivers and he made this one of best adventures I've experience in NZ.

I would definitely recommended Ben and my only advice would be to prepar a large strong coffee because the early wake up can be hard;) (but worth it!!)
I hope to come back in NZ and flyfish with Ben again!

I hired three different guides during my NZ fly fishing adventures. Ben was the best of all of them. He is knowledgeable, patient and very skillful. He organizes everything so well for you that you will definitely enjoy the fly fishing trip. He will take you out on the best streams of southern NZ. He will share his knowledge and you will definitely catch some trophy size trouts.
I had a great time fishing with him. Highly recommended.
