WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT ?

We are from a fly fishing family. Both of us have been introduced to this wonderful pastime by our father, Ian Langlands, who has been {and still is} an avid angler since the 1950’s. Along with dad we have had incredible instruction from masters such as George Ferris, Robert Bragg and Al Creedon– all of whom shaped our fly casting, and fly tying skills with a kindly approach towards this rewarding and ever challenging sport. These fellows are all authors important to NZ fly fishing and have imparted a rare sense of heritage that we in turn pass on to our clients.

OUR "POOLED" KNOWLEDGE AND COVERAGE OF WATERS RESULTS IN MORE OPTIONS AND THE EDGE FOR FANTASTIC FISHING.

Like all sports having the homework done is the formula for success. The work starts well before you arrive.

***We tie specialist flies to suit particular waters you will fish.***

Great time and effort is put into selecting waters and accommodations to suit you and our dynamic weather changes. Our weather is highly unpredictable– being an island set in the roaring 40’s. You can experience four seasons in a day but we harmonise guiding with the prevalent conditions.

DIVERSITY OF ANGLING WATERS...ADAPTABILITY TO CONDITIONS..AFFORDABILITY..FOCUS ON GREAT ANGLING AND THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT.

WE WILL GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY !!!
