Rotorua and Bay of Plenty
The following is a list of fly fishing guides in New Zealand specific to the area listed above.
We provide this information as a research tool for our clients, to help get a feel for what a particular guide is like. We can give you our input as well. You are free to book directly with the guide or through us, the price will be the same either way, but we only get a small commission from the guide when you book through us. So this is the honor system I guess. Also by booking with us you will qualify for frequent fisher discounts on your next trip!
