Drift Boat Fly Fishing in New Zealand
Experience the thrill of fly fishing on New Zealand’s South Island aboard our American-made, jet-powered Pro-Drift boat. This adventure lets you access waters you’ve only dreamed of.
Booking a trip with us guarantees:
- Exploration of breathtaking, rarely seen landscapes
- Extensive coverage of pristine waters throughout the day
- Diverse fishing techniques, including dry-fly casting to sighted fish, nymph drifting through riffles, and streamer fishing in holding water. We also pause for wading along edges, runs, and drop-offs.
Understanding Drift Boats
Drift boats are the pinnacle of functional design, perfectly suited for fly fishing. They glide effortlessly with the river’s current, while the guide controls speed and direction.
Rowing a drift boat demands skill and practice. Unlike traditional rowing, the guide faces forward, using oars to adjust speed and steer clear of obstacles like rocks, fallen trees, and rapids.
Our Maritime New Zealand-certified Pro-Drift boat measures five meters long and two meters wide, powered by an outboard jet engine. It’s the ideal vessel for reaching remote fishing spots.
Our Certified Fly-Fishing Guides
All guides are members of the New Zealand Professional Fishing Guides Association (NZPFGA), ensuring a safe and exceptional experience. Contact Simon Wilkinson or Roger Tompkins to book your expedition.
