Wild brown trout predominate in the Lake Brunner region with trophy sized trout in all waters averaging just under 3 pounds!  Crystal clear water makes it easy to spot clearly visible fish.   Superb angling, and your choice of techniques:  dry, nymph, wet or streamer.

All inclusive packages for fly fishing for wild brown trout are available all year 'round.  Wilderness angling adventures on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand:  wade or drift freestone rivers, spring creeks or still waters.
