Choices

Winter fishing is available in both the Canterbury and Westland regions. Some rivers or lakes are open all year round, while some others are open for limited periods during the winter.


Generally winter trips are shorter due to less daylight hours. However, if heading over to the West Coast you may expect to leave around 6:00am, and could return as late as 8:30pm if we were to stop in Arthurs Pass for tea.


Winter can also be a good time to night fish certain river mouths flowing into Canterbury lakes, as pre-spawning trout congregate in these areas to feed prior to entering the lake tributaries to spawn.

On booking your trip if your guide thinks there may be a better option based on time of day, year, weather or any other factor you will have the option of altering your choice either at the time of booking or even on the day if you so choose.  For example the choice of what time of day you prefer may provide better fishing in a local river mouth vs high country lake.
