There's plenty of water on the West Coast and where there's water, there's fish! Or so they say.
Discover New Zealand's pristine waterways, great fishing and spectacular scenery. Fly fish the amazing mountain region of the Lewis Pass. Visit Lake Brunner and its surrounding rivers and streams for some of the best year round brown trout fishing in the South Island. Or take a river safari on Haast river in the midst of the stunningly scenic South West New Zealand World Heritage area.
