The Fishing
Staying with us places you in privileged proximity to some of the world’s finest fly fishing. The legendary Mataura River and the crystal-clear Nokomai Stream are easily accessible from the lodge, offering exceptional brown trout fishing in a pristine and secluded setting. This is fly fishing at its most rewarding, immersive, and unforgettable.
The Fish
The Mataura is home to a thriving population of wild brown trout, known for their size, strength, and selective feeding behaviour. Smaller numbers of rainbow trout are also found in the river, offering a varied and rewarding angling experience.
The Rivers
The Mataura River in Southland is celebrated internationally as one of New Zealand’s premier dry-fly trout rivers. We are passionate about protecting this special environment, encouraging responsible angling and sustainable practices that help preserve strong, healthy fish populations for future anglers to enjoy.
