Trout fishing, Skiing, Accommodation!!! Throughout the month of August Alpine Fishing Guides have a house you can rent from NZ$250 per night which sleeps up to 9 people!!. It is 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms in beautiful Lake Hawea which is 15 mins from Wanaka and it's ski fields. So if you are here for some skiing and want to throw in a day or two of fishing and would like to stay in a warm near new modern house then look no further.

 Winter fishing rates are discounted to NZ$550 per day between 2 people and if you were to stay as well as fish we would also give you an additional discount . We also offer half day winter fishing trips as well. To view the house you can check it out on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/user/ilovemaniototo#p/u/0/uV33ARsi0jU 

Be in quick if you don't want to be disappointed. 

Drift fishing day trips. Alpine Fishing Guides offers Drift fishing day trips (approx 8 hrs fishing), half days by arrangement and multi day float fishing trips for 1-2 fishermen. A usual day trip would see you getting picked up from you accommodation at 8 - 8.30 am. Once reaching the river we would get you set up with gear,( if you do not already have your own) be given a small  safety briefing before hitting the river. On most trips we would be fishing within a half hour of being picked up! You would be returned to your accommodation at around 5-5.30 with I'm sure photos and memories for a lifetime... Pick up and drop off times can be arranged to suit the client.

Fly fishing packages We have a popular 3 day New Zealand fly fishing  package that has 2 day's Drift fishing and 1 day walk and wading . Please let us know what your time frame is and what your ability and expectations are and we can build a package to suit. We can also organise or recommend accommodation to meet your budget requirements.

A typical 3 day guided New Zealand fly fishing package may include 1 day Driftfishing the Clutha river, 1 day Drifting the Makarora river and 1 day walk and wading the Hunter river or another local river in the Wanaka region.

Camp out trips Alpine Fishing Guides also offers camp out fishing  trips which cover around 30 km of the Clutha river. We drift up to 15km (almost 10 miles) per day with the night camped out in between. We provide all camping equipment , fishing gear and food. Summer months only Dec - March.

These fly fishing packages on New Zealand's South Island as always are subject to weather and river flows but Alpine Fishing Guides would endeavour to find the best options and conditions available . 

Depending on the fishing conditions and time available, we can choose between the Clutha, Hawea (both year-round) Makarora, Matukituki and Hunter rivers to find the best conditions possible.

Winter fishing Alpine Fishing Guides, can also provide some excellent winter fly and spin fishing around Wanaka. If the snow is getting a little to icy to ski or the legs a bit sore then a day or half day drifting on the Clutha river is a great way to relax on a cool clear winter day. We provide hot chocolate and home baked muffins to keep you toasty and warm. See our discounted winter fishing rates below.

This is your New Zealand fishing holiday and using our professional guiding experience and local Wanaka fishing knowledge we will customize it to ensure you get the most from your New Zealand trout fishing experience.
