Fly Fish New Zealand Ltd is on the move.
For the last 21 seasons I had the great privilege to live in North Canterbury, in the beautiful village of Hanmer Springs.

From the next season 2024/25 our operation will share its time between the North Canterbury region, the West Coast but also Central Otago/Otago.

It will allow our clients to discover new waters and so many secret spots that I have been fishing for so many years.
We already take reservations for both parts of the amazing South Island and really the choice is yours.

Please do not delay to contact me as the calendar is filling up.

Join me, Serge A Bonnafoux also known as the sight fishing expert for an amazing fly fishing adventure where you will be able to stalk the big brown trout and rainbows of New Zealand and most possibly fish for them . I do not hold the rod and don't strike for you . But I do the rest.

Soon a new website will be live offering options.
In the meantime you can still see us on ;

I have been a member of the NZPFGA for as long as I have been guiding and have a public liability insurance, a comprehensive car insurance (not a rental car), use the Association concession for the days spent on the DOC estate.
I specialise in all inclusive trips from a day to two weeks .

2023/24 season reviews

26/03/2024

Autumn is definitely here. Shorter days, the curve of the sun being lower, but most importantly some nice fish ego to feed as spawning time is coming and they will need energy but also a winter with tougher conditions. Fishing deep pools brought in this amazing creature that was a great reward after tough weather conditions all day long. The Stu’s killer nymph again proved to be the one. A quick photo for memory and Alan’s mate in Oregon , and off it went. Only catch and release, keep them wet. Can’t wait to see mentalities changed and the decision to be taken that some of our river should not have any fish taken and killed first the sake of a piece of flesh on a plate. The scenery is 40% of the day, sharing the same passion is another 20%, be on the river , perfecting fishing skills is 10% more. Then fooling the fish , netting it, a few pics, and the amazing moments of releasing it makes up the rest . Fish for the future and the next generation. It is all about conservation. We and our clients do exactly this. www.fishnewzealand.com. ☎️: +64 21 211 3462

The last fish of the day… when the weather has not played game, when missed strikes, broken lines, bad drifts make the day a tough one don’t loose your smile…
Here is a 9lbs slab for you… first cast perfect line, hungry fish… in the net…
Also a personal real pleasure to see this guy year after year coming back to:

Think Season 2024/25

16/01/2024

When a great find of mine 30+ years ago told me that by becoming a fishing guide I would buy a lifestyle but would never become a millionaire he was right.
He never mentioned that part of that lifestyle would be to having a fishing net filled up with garbage collected on the way back from another great day on the river.
Unfortunately, this is what the country that welcomed me 30+ years ago has become.
We, at fly fish New Zealand Ltd do not hesitate to do the mahi( work) .
We are proud of our country. We want to keep it clean and tidy in respect for the folks visiting us, bringing in the huge amount of $$$ they spend to be here, but also to remain a proud Kiwi .
You might not agree with us but those pieces of trash are the result of people who have no respect for their own country, the country they visit if they are foreigners, but most importantly no respect for themselves.
They most certainly live in a pigsty.

Even if it gets harder to get down having two feet in the water is all what you need.
Age does not matter as long as a cast of 15m remains a possibility.
Keepemwet as much as possible. Catch and release only… fish for the future.
Enjoy the beautiful action ( in reality only 4 seconds)
