Our flyfishing guiding team is headed up by Nigel Birt with his vast knowledge of flyfishing guiding in New Zealand. Nigel has been guiding since 1988, during that time he has built up an excellent reputation for himself and Backcountry New Zealand. All our guides have gained their vast experience through guiding throughout the South Island. Their combined wealth of knowledge and tuitional techniques are invaluable to your angling experience and skill improvement.
