2023 / 24 PRICING AND INFORMATION
This seasons rates are $925NZD per day for one, 1075 for 2 or 1225 for 3 anglers. Half-Day rate is $800per half day for one, $900 for 2, etc. There is a 3.5% PayPal charge for online payments from abroad. Not applicable to bank transfers from within NZ.
You’re welcome to come with me in my truck at no extra cost. I can pick you up from your accommodation in or near Alexandra. I drive approximately 30 to 90 minutes each way to and from our chosen water (sometimes off-road). The fee includes approximately 8 hours on the water with professional guidance, a healthy homemade lunch (not included in the Half-Day option), snacks, rods, reels, leaders, flies, associated equipment and qualified casting tuition if needed. I will also take photos each day - these will be sent to your email via We Transfer. At the end of the day you'll be brought back to your accommodation. The same day rate applies per day during a Road Trip, Backcountry Walk-in, Lakes & Stillwater, or Heli-Fishing option. Please make sure you have a day pack to carry your own kit or one will be provided for you.
To add a camp-out to any day carries an extra fee of $350 per 1 or $550 per 2 people. This includes quality tents, mattresses, sleeping bags, all camping equipment, dinner, breakfast and my backcountry culinary skills! Each angler is required to carry his or her own tent, sleeping bag, food and mattress for the Backcountry walk-in option. All weight to be divvied out equally. You're welcome to use your own gear, in which case the rate will be reduced by $50 per angler per night. When it comes to alcohol, I usually bring a few beers but if you want anything extra you’re welcome to bring your own.
You will need a freshwater fishing licence which is not included in the above fee. This can be purchased online at www.fishandgame.org.nz for $37 NZD per day licence. A fulI season non-resident license is $264. I recommend that you purchase your license before the fishing trip. This will save time on the morning of our day on the river or lake. If you'd like full access to Designated Waters you’ll need to purchase a full season license. If we decide to fish a Designated Water on any given day (4 days max per district) this additional license will cost an extra $40 per day. Let me know if this is or is not something you’d be interested in. For more information on the DW license please click here. If you have any questions about which license to buy, please email me!
For most of the season we wet-wade here in NZ. I like to wear polyprops (mens tights!) and a pair of shorts. Others favour quick drying trousers. A tough pair of boots is important, not necessarily specifically designed fishing boots, but remember, they will get wet! Neoprene socks are great for keeping your feet warm when wet wading. I'm happy to supply these at no extra charge. I can supply quality Simms waders and boots for a charge of $50 per angler per day.
To secure your booking I'll need a 30% (approx) non-refundable deposit of $300NZD per day. I will accept the remainder of the payment at the end of the fishing day. I reserve the right to postpone or cancel any trip in the event of dangerous weather or any situation I believe to pose a hazard. A full refund will be given in the event of an extreme weather event (would have to be catastrophic!!) - though I have never cancelled due to weather in my career so far. In terrible weather there are still options to fish, so it’s highly unlikely I’ll cancel. If you cancel due to weather you will have to pay in full. If you are the hazard (drink, drugs, mis-information etc) there will be no refund given.
Please don't hesitate to email me with any further questions.
