New Zealand is simply one of those destinations that everyone needs to experience, time, and time again. Breathtakingly spectacular it’s a scenic destination that’s home to large Brown and Rainbow Trout, with some of the finest fly fishing lodges and experiences in the world.

On Australia’s doorstep, New Zealand is like playing in our own fairytale backyard, with a diversity of fly fishing options that is very hard to beat in the Southern Hemisphere, including Chile and Argentina.

Hands-down it is one of the best places in the world to sight-cast and polaroid smart, big fish in gin clear water which includes back-country freestone rivers, lowland streams, spring creeks, alpine lakes, canals, tailwaters, and estuaries.

Both the North and South islands are unique, with the North offering beaches, National Parks, Maori culture, and excellent backcountry fishing for Trophy Rainbow and Brown Trout. Meanwhile, the South is predominantly a paradise for Brown Trout fishing against stunning backdrops and mountain ranges, and home to a range of adrenaline sports.

New Zealand is perfect for a family holiday, self-drive itinerary, or lodge stay with numerous non-angling activities, vibrant cities, and amazing outdoor experiences, including some of the finest vineyards and ski-fields in the world. Fly Odyssey works very closely with the best guides and outfitters on both the North and South Island, and you can be sure that your holiday is being organised by people who know the country intimately.
