Due to a cancellation, we have an incredible prime-time nine-day fishing adventure available with three of New Zealand's top independent guides. Kevin Payne, Dean Bell, and Kristina Placko are exceptional guides and people and during your time with them, they will have the flexibility to follow their keen instincts and take you to the rivers in their regions that will be fishing the best. These trips are casual, fun, a great value, and highly adaptive to daily and regional conditions, making them one of the best ways to experience New Zealand's trophy fisheries. If you don't need white tablecloths or need a break from standard "lodge talk" around the dinner table, here is your chance to experience a diverse array of New Zealand's best waters and guides during prime time.
