Christchurch and the surrounding region offer a wide variety of fishing charters… for the novice through to more experienced fishers.
Akaroa Harbour and its coastal bays offer fabulous fishing some of the best New Zealand has to offer – Akaroa is famous for its dolphins, seals and penguins and plentiful scenic splendour. Fishing charters generally include the use of rod, tackle and bait – but be sure to enquire.
Fancy a bit more excitement with your fishing charter? Add waterskiing to the mix and get your adrenalin really pumping! Various operators offer this as a package, inclusive of rod, tackle, bait, water skis, kneeboard, wakeboard and wetsuits. Another option is diving – if you have a diving certificate and your own gear.
Why not take a Christchurch based guide, who is available to guide you on fly fishing adventures on the streams and lakes of Canterbury and the South Island. You will be tracking a range of fish including brown trout, rainbow trout, and salmon, but don’t be surprised if you find eels, fresh water crayfish, and even the odd yellow eyed mullet.
The best months for fly fishing New Zealand waters are early November through to the end of March. You must have a fishing licence but this can be arranged with your fishing guide, costs are less than NZ$20.00 per person per day.
For a relaxing holiday try a Homestay and fly fishing package on the banks of the Silverstream River a mere fifteen minutes from Christchurch.
Whatever the fishing charter you choose – the combination of picturesque Christchurch scenery and the array of fish species to do battle with – you can be sure to have a thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable time!
