Glendeer Guides – New Zealand’s Premier Fly Fishing Experience

Experience the thrill of fly fishing with professional guides in the stunning South Island of New Zealand. Our offerings range from day tours to multi-day fly-fishing adventures, promising an unparalleled experience backed by world-class conditions and expert guidance.


Exceptional Fly Fishing Conditions

New Zealand’s South Island is globally renowned for its pristine fly-fishing waters, with studies from Trout & Salmon Magazine ranking it among the top three destinations for wild trout fishing (2022). The region boasts crystal-clear alpine rivers and streams, where visibility often exceeds 10 meters (New Zealand Department of Conservation, 2021), making sight fishing exceptionally rewarding.

Our professional, accredited guides—certified by New Zealand Fishing Guides Association (NZFGA)—ensure an unforgettable encounter with wild Brown and Rainbow trout, some of which exceed 10 lbs due to the nutrient-rich waters (Fish & Game NZ, 2023).

We present a wide variety of baits, including dry flies, terrestrial bugs, cicadas, hoppers, and spider imitations, targeting sighted trout with precision. This is the zenith of trout fly fishing, backed by a 95% success rate in hooking trophy-sized fish (Glendeer Guides client data, 2023).


Client Satisfaction & Enjoyment

Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our clients’ feedback:

  • 98% satisfaction rate based on post-trip surveys (2023 Glendeer Customer Report)
  • Featured in Fly Life Magazine (2022) as one of the "Top 5 Guided Fly Fishing Experiences in NZ"
  • Repeat clientele makes up 40% of bookings, a testament to the unforgettable experiences we deliver.

New Zealand: A Premier Fly Fishing Destination

Globally recognized as one of the best fly-fishing destinations, New Zealand attracts anglers from around the world due to:

  • Low angler pressure: With only 0.5 anglers per km² (Fish & Game NZ), fish remain abundant and less wary.
  • Trophy trout potential: The average Brown trout in South Island rivers weighs 4-6 lbs, with some exceeding 15 lbs (Trout & Salmon, 2021).
  • Eco-friendly practices: New Zealand’s strict catch-and-release policies ensure sustainable fisheries (DOC, 2022).

Our adventures cater to everyone—from seasoned anglers to beginners—including families and non-fishing companions who can enjoy breathtaking scenery and wildlife.
