Otago region offers excellent high-country rivers with the most diverse flora and fauna compared to any other region in NZ. The landscapes range from lush pastures and rolling meadows to inland fiords and alpine ranges. The Clutha River which has the highest flow rate of any NZ, river flows through this region. Here the water is heavy with deep blue pools under beech forest as well as fast runs in the gorges over rock and stone beds. The river’s high volume does not effect the water’s clarity so the fish can be sighted and cast to.

The diversity of water in this region is an angler’s dream – each bend in these rivers and tributaries holds surprisingly different fishing and scenic experiences – deep pools, rapids, falls, fast runs, glides, and boulders amongst tussock wilderness, mountains, beech forests, farmlands or bush scrub. To top all this off, the trout (including sea-run trout) and salmon here are magnificent specimens and tenacious fighters.

The Wanaka Lakes District, below the ancient glaciers, contain an abundant number of magnificent trout and some land-locked salmon. Here in these southern lakes there is an incredible diversity of water: large, small, deep, shallow... Some are surrounded by snow capped mountains or native scrub while others are framed by spectacular blooms of purple lupins and wildflowers. There is good access to most waterways and rewarding shoreline fishing is frequently available.
