The ultimate fly fishing experience


helifishing

Pete Fordham has been fly fishing the New Zealand North Island rivers for 30 years. In 1994 he retired from 25 years of cattle and deer ranching and has been working as a professional guide since. A guide in all four seasons, Peter specialises in summer back country fishing and is an avid dry fly enthusiast. He covers all the famous back country rivers, headwaters and their tributaries as well as the Lake Taupo watershed. In winter he guides on the local rivers and streams.

Pete's innovative fly-tying nets a high catch rate, and, as one of the busiest independent guides in the area, he enjoys a 90% return rate of satisfied anglers.

A member of the New Zealand Professional Fishing Guides Association, Pete is associated with a number of top South Island guides and can help organise fishing in the South Island of New Zealand

"...the best part of fishing with Peter is the feeling that I am fishing with a good friend. If you choose him as your guide/outfitter, I’m sure you will have a fun time while you are catching some of the largest trout on the planet."
