Winter Fishing

Join Aspiring Fly Fishing, the local Fishing club in Wānaka, for an exciting fly-fishing event! If you're passionate about aspiring to be a fly fisherman, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

Led by the experienced NZPFGA guide Paul Macandrew, these guided fishing trips will take you to remote areas of the stunning South Island of New Zealand. You'll have the chance to explore several rivers in the Central Otago region that are open year-round for trout fishing, including the mighty Clutha River.

When it comes to fly-fishing techniques, you'll get to try out different approaches that can be highly effective. Using streamers on sink tips and high-density sinking lines, or weighted bomb style nymphs, are just a few examples. These methods can yield fantastic results, especially during the winter months.

But that's not all. If still water fishing is more your style, you're in luck! We will also visit the breathtaking lakes Wanaka, Hawea, and Dunstan, which offer excellent opportunities for catching trout in still water. Imagine the tranquility and beauty as you cast your line into these serene lakes.

The fishing trips are designed to provide you with an unforgettable experience. Lasting between 6 to 8 hours, they include top-quality fishing equipment, a delicious packed lunch, and refreshing beverages to keep you energised. Everything you need for a incredible day of fishing is taken care of.

During the winter months, the trout tend to congregate near the inflowing river mouths and stretches of lake edge. Aspiring Fly Fishing knows all the best spots, so you'll have the chance to reel in some impressive catches. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a beginner looking to try fly-fishing for the first time, this event is suitable for all skill levels.
