Dream-waters in our back-yard Kobayashi-san gets some TIGHT-LINES

Yasu Kobayashi from Nagano Japan, stepped up to the plate and delivered some beautiful casts that got instant results.

If there was ever a lesson in casting and playing a fish then Kobayashi-san is the man to watch, and on the river we fished he was definitly the boss.

Using his faithful SCOTT ROD  #5 of 10 years the experience of fishing some dream-waters was made even better….. after 9 years of travelling to N.Z to fish Yasu and Kazu finally made it to the top of Lake Wakatipu, after today it won’t be the last.

Our Work is our Passion, Rainbows and Browns Disagree!

We really do love our work, it is pretty cool to be able to say that and really mean it!! There is more to it then just the fishing, its  more so about being there and seeing the BIG picture. The places we go, the stories that go with them, the opportunities of casting to the biggest wild trout you will ever see (unless you come back) and the ever changing environment we explore.

Sure our job is to guide you to catch fish and teach the different techniques needed from nymphing to dry fly, understanding the local insect life, casting, mending, striking and playing a fish. When you see the rivers that we fish and the valleys, lowlands, gorges, and forests they run through you will understand why we called our-selves Dream-waters and why we LOVE our job!!!!!
