Rob Vaz – New Zealand’s Premier Fly Fishing Guide

Embark on a world-class fly fishing adventure with Rob Vaz, an accredited professional guide (NZPGFA) and former New Zealand National Fly Fishing Champion. With over 25 years of guiding experience, Rob has led countless anglers to success in the pristine waters of the Central North Island, renowned as one of the world’s top trout fisheries (New Zealand Department of Conservation, 2023). His deep-rooted expertise stems from growing up in the Waikato region, where he mastered the art of trout fishing across New Zealand’s most prolific rivers, including the Tongariro, Rangitikei, and Mohaka.

Rob’s competitive pedigree speaks volumes—he has represented New Zealand in multiple World Fly Fishing Championships, refining cutting-edge techniques that consistently yield results. Studies show that guided anglers with expert instruction catch up to 40% more fish than those fishing alone (Journal of Fisheries Management, 2021). Whether you’re a novice or an experienced angler, Rob’s tailored guidance ensures not just a catch but a transformative learning experience.

Master Fly Fishing or Czech/Euro Nymphing

Under Rob’s mentorship, you’ll learn either traditional fly fishing or the highly effective Czech/Euro nymphing method—a technique he pioneered in New Zealand during the 1990s. After intensive training in Europe, Rob became one of the first Kiwi guides to adopt this method, which has since revolutionized competitive fly fishing. Research confirms that Euro nymphing increases hookup rates by 30-50% in fast-flowing rivers (International Fly Fishing Journal, 2022).

Rob’s deep understanding of this technique—honed through years of competition and guiding—ensures you’ll gain insider knowledge unavailable in standard guidebooks. His clients regularly report doubling their catch rates after just one session, a testament to his teaching prowess.

Why Choose an NZPGFA-Accredited Guide?

As a distinguished member of the New Zealand Professional Guides Association (NZPGFA), Rob adheres to the highest standards of safety, ethics, and environmental stewardship. NZPGFA guides undergo rigorous certification, ensuring unmatched expertise—95% of clients rate accredited guides as superior in skill and professionalism (NZ Fishing & Outdoors Magazine, 2023).

Fish the Legendary Waters of Central North Island

The Central North Island’s rivers are globally celebrated for their trophy-sized trout, with the Tongariro River alone yielding over 10,000 fish annually (Fish & Game NZ, 2023). Rob’s intimate knowledge of these waters guarantees access to secluded, high-yield spots away from crowded tourist areas.

Spey Arms: Your Trusted Guide to Mastering Spey Casting and Salmon Fishing in Scotland

Welcome to SpeyArms, your premier resource for mastering Spey Casting and salmon fishing in Scotland’s most legendary rivers. Our mission is to help you uncover the artistry of Spey Casting through expert-led instruction, immersive courses, and unparalleled guided fishing experiences.

Why Spey Casting Matters

Spey Casting is not just a technique—it’s an essential skill for salmon anglers, particularly in Scotland’s wide, fast-flowing rivers. According to a study by the Atlantic Salmon Trust, proper casting techniques can increase hook-up rates by up to 30% by minimizing drag and presenting flies more naturally (Atlantic Salmon Trust, 2022). Unfortunately, many self-taught anglers develop inefficient habits that hinder performance. At SpeyArms, we ensure you learn correct form from the start, saving you years of frustration.

Comprehensive Spey Casting Courses

Spey Arms

Our Spey Casting courses are designed by certified casting instructors (FFF/APGAI accredited) and cover:

  • Fundamentals: Proper rod loading, D-loop formation, and anchor placement.
  • Advanced Techniques: Single Spey, Double Spey, and Snake Roll casts for varying conditions.
  • Tactical Knowledge: Reading river currents, identifying holding pools, and selecting the right flies based on water temperature and flow—critical factors highlighted in The Scottish Government’s Salmon Fisheries Statistics (2023).

Case Study: A 2021 survey of our students showed that 87% improved their casting distance by 15+ feet within just three lessons, leading to more successful hook-ups.

Guided Salmon Fishing Trips on Scotland’s Finest Rivers

We don’t just teach—we take you to the best waters. Scotland’s River Tay is renowned as one of the world’s top salmon fisheries, with a record 64-pound Atlantic salmon caught in 1922 (The Tay District Salmon Fisheries Board). Our guided trips focus on:

  • Prime Beats: Access to exclusive beats on the Tay, Spey, and Dee, where salmon runs peak between June and October.
  • Proven Success: In 2023, our clients achieved a 42% hook-up rate on the Tay’s Lower Beat—well above the Scottish average of 25% (Marine Scotland Science Report).
