Pro-Angler Travel

The best value guided quality-fishing trips available. Expect to learn, expect to fish differently, expect to see fish that will make you tremble, expect scenery that will blow you away…expect to be home a day and start planning your next trip!

That once in a lifetime trip, will become the annual trip, guaranteed!

We use local guides on these trips. We feel nothing beats local knowledge. Its one thing to have been there before and fished, its another thing to know what suits the conditions at the time, and on the day, particularly if the conditions are against you.

New Zealand (South Island)

The Mataura River was awarded a water conservation order 1996, based on its outstanding fisheries and angling amenity values. It is undeniably New Zealand’s most prolific brown trout fishery. Anglers from all over the world travel to the banks of the Mataura year after year to enjoy the ultimate fly fishing experience.

The Mataura is the second biggest river of the region. Majority of the river is essentially fly fishing water and offers superb dry fly fishing. Rises appear even on the coldest days and at any one time you may see numerous trout freely rising to dancing insects.

Our base is situated in a small South Island town called Athol, right on the banks of the mighty Mataura River. From Athol we have numerous opportunities and different waterways with both Brown and Rainbow Trout.
Eg: Mararoa, Hamilton Burn, Oreti and Mavora Lakes, just to name a few.

All these waters hold large trout compared to Australian conditions. Average sizes in the Mataura are 3- 4lb, but there is always a good chance of catching a 5, 6 even 8lb Rainbows and Browns.
Trout populations are very high in the upper Mataura, drift dives have recorded 40 fish/km. You can expect to cast to countless fish in a day.

CHRISTMAS ISLAND, THE PRO-ANGLER PACKAGE:

Your trip starts with a flight to Nadi, Fiji, to wait for the midnight departure for the connection to Christmas Island with Air Pacific. The flight to Christmas Island is about 4 hours, arriving at 6.30am on a Wednesday morning. You will be met at the airport by our guide, who will drive you to the lodge. The rest of the day can be spent recovering from the flight, checking your fishing gear or we can arrange a shorter into session to get off the mark.

The fishing is all by recommendation: the guide will either suggest shore or flats fishing via boat access. You can request either! The boat is a comfortable 30-foot "local" (with roof for sun protection) with a local boatman at the helm. There will be one guide available for every two fishermen. A personal guide can be arranged for a fee ($100 per day). Our fishing times are flexible, so if you want an extra early start, let us know the day before!

The food is good and ample: the evening meal will consist of mostly fish (NOT BONEFISH, but tuna, wahoo or sweetlip), with plenty of vegetables, etc. Meat is also served regularly: chicken, pork and beef are flown in from Hawaii... Lobster can be a special treat! Lunch is gourmet sandwiches, packed in the esky (with plenty of chilled bottled water), and breakfast is a large cooked American style meal.

Soft drinks and beer can be purchased at reasonable rates (an honesty system). For mixers, please let us know, and we will do our best to obtain these, but better to buy duty free on the way.

The accommodation is comfortable: there are three air-conditioned rooms with two single beds each. There are en-suite bathrooms, with hot water available. There is an outside area to sit and relax after the day’s fishing. Fresh water rinsing facilities are available for yourself and your gear, and a washing service is all there for you!

All the transport is by covered truck, with padded seats. At the end of the week's fishing, you will be transported back to the airport for your flight home. So... a quick summary of the costs involved:
