World Class Trout Fishing Experiences
December through March are the peak fishing months in New Zealand and there is no better place to base yourself for summer fishing than the rivers and streams of the Central North Island. With the backcountry right at our backdoor, Helisika can take you there.

Casting dry flys or dry fly/nymph combo’s is the most effective way to target these often elusive fish.
Guided Fly Fishing in the Greater Taupo District
New Zealand is famous for its wilderness rivers, many of which are accessible only by helicopter. Local rivers like the world-famous Tongariro and the beautiful upper Ngaruroro offer some fantastic dry fly action and some of the anglers who pursue these monsters succeed in catching trophies of 12 pounds or more from more remote location like upper Rangitikei, Waipunga and Mohaka rivers. We can get you there.

Even if you have never fly-fished before, the guides will patiently work with you to develop your skills and in all likelihood, deliver the exhilaration of catching your first wild New Zealand trout on a fly rod.
