Wild Trout Adventures

It has taken well over ten guided trips to New Zealand to find the best Flyfishing Guide. Just minutes to the river each day! Gary is a great guide, companion and cook, master fish spotter and takes more time to advise on better skills, different techniques and local conditions. I came away with improved skills, more knowledge, my best fish, more confidence and a very strong desire to come back.

Thanks for the coaching. Your technique worked well on our spawned-out Steal Head here in Ontario, with many fish landed in the 6-10lb range.
I am missing The Tuki, there's nothing like it and I am sure we only saw and experienced a bit of what it really has to offer. I will need to come back one day.
Thanks for your knowledge, guidance, expertise, ...and the laughs.

I have fished with many guides throughout the world and have found Gary to be one of the best.
His techniques of spotting and stalking Hawkes Bay large wild Brown and Rainbow Trout are something amazing.
Gary's expertise and wealth of local knowledge guarantee you a most memorable day of fishing.
Fly fishing with Gary is an unforgettable experience.

Thanks for being a special part of Linda's and my 25th anniversary holiday in New Zealand. Especially thanks for helping Linda catch her first fish on a fly .She had, since your tutoring, hooked up to some very respectable Brown Trout in the South Island and is working on plans for our next trip. I believe we have created a fisher woman. Much appreciated, Gordon (San Diego).

In my many years of fishing, I have yet to meet a guide with fish spotting ability like Gary.
His nymphing techniques are a revelation...
He is the consummate professional in everything he does... and he is a great cook!
