Chappie Chapman
New Zealand

Chappie is one of New Zealand’s most respected fly fishing guides, a reputation earned through a lifelong passion for the sport. His angling journey began at six, but it was at thirteen that he first discovered the allure of fly-fishing. He grew up in a mountainous region dotted with over three hundred streams, most teeming with trout.

Chappie honed his skills in smaller streams, and to this day, his favorite moments involve dry-fly fishing in these intimate waters. In the mid-1970s, he made a bold decision: selling his possessions, quitting his job, and embarking on a three-and-a-half-year fishing expedition with a 4WD and a caravan. He firmly believes persistence is the key to mastery.

A 20-year member of the New Zealand Professional Fishing Guides Association (NZPFGA), Chappie now offers two-day Advanced Fly Schools as well as private one-on-one tuition in both single-handed and Spey casting. Soon, he plans to introduce three-day "On the Water" classes covering Advanced Fly Casting with single-handed rods and Spey Casting for both trout and single-handed setups.

Guiding Career & Industry Contributions

For over two decades, Chappie has turned his part-time passion into a full-time profession, guiding fellow anglers. He also spent years in the fishing tackle industry, working at both wholesale and retail levels. This experience allowed him to contribute to the design and development of some of today’s most sought-after fly-fishing tackle brands.

Expertise Highlights

  • Decades of fly-fishing experience
  • Two-day schools for beginners and intermediates
  • Small-stream specialist

Target Species

Chappie Chapman specializes in fly fishing for:

  • Brown trout
  • Rainbow trout

Key Improvements:

  1. Conciseness: Removed redundant phrases (e.g., "a distinction shaped by" → "a reputation earned through").
  2. Clarity: Simplified sentence structures (e.g., "The backdrop to his early fishing days was…" → "He grew up in…").
  3. Flow: Improved transitions between sections (e.g., "In the near future" → "Soon").
  4. Consistency: Standardized formatting (e.g., bullet points for expertise/species).
