Te Anau Guided Fishing Tours

Lake Te Anau is the largest lake in the South Island and is the gateway to the Fiordland National Park which is famed for its scenery, remoteness and world-class walk ways which include the Kepler and Milford tracks.

Fiordland's rivers and lakes are well-stocked with both Brown and Rainbow Trout, and there's some great fishing in Lake Te Anau and Lake Manapouri, especially if fishing from the shores of these lakes, and also in the Waiau river that connects the two lakes. The average size of Trout ranges from 1.5kg to 3kg, there are bigger Brown Trout present and some may reach up to 10lbs in some rivers especially if we experience a mast year (mouse year). Lake Te Anau and its tributaries hold both Brown and Rainbow Trout in reasonably good numbers and in some of the most breath taking scenery you will find anywhere! The region boasts several smaller streams that are ideally suited to sight fishing with nymphs and dries when conditions are right, and hold some fantastic brown and rainbow trout.
