"… The entire trip went smoothly and each of the clients had their expectations exceeded! Thanks for the completely professional way you handled arrangements at your end ..."
Dick Galland,

"My wife Sandra and myself have made three trips from Scotland to new zealand to fish dry fly for your magnificent river trout. During these trips we have identified on both the north and south island, the rivers we prefer and more especially, the best guides.
Stephen GreaneyWhen we book fishing on the south island now we make a point of booking Steve at the same time because he is such an excellent fish spotter, he is very relaxed and patient and extremely courteous with my wife on difficult river crossings, etc.
Steve has a charming wife Nancy and we now consider them to be good friends."
