Kia Ora, my name is Tom McAuliffe, your expert New Zealand fly fishing guide.
I’m a local kiwi from the South Island of New Zealand with over two decades of local knowledge, and refined experience fly fishing for our great trout throughout the lower South Island, particularly in the Otago and Southland regions. I will work tirelessly for you leaving no stone un-turned, and strive to give you the highest quality kiwi trout fishing experience possible. I am incredibly excited to meet and share my passion with you.
I am a professional guide & member of the New Zealand Professional Fishing Guides Association (NZPFGA), so you know you will be in great hands. Whether you are a first time angler, or an experienced fly fisher I will specifically tailor a guided fly fishing trip to suit you. Like all top fishing guides, fly fishing is my life. I spend as much time as possible in the stunning places trout live - the pure & pristine river and lake environments in the South Island of New Zealand. I am professional, friendly, experienced, and am dedicated to providing you with an experience of a lifetime. Expect my best! I am sure you will advance your fly fishing skills, while forming some treasured memories.
Please feel free to read some of my blog posts. I look forward to hearing from you, and locking in a trip!
Tight lines,
Tom.
What clients say…
“My wife and I had an excellent day fishing with Tom. He worked hard to get us our fish that day. He was knowledgeable of the water we fished, the insects on/in the water, and could see the fish. He’s easy to hang out with and I’d recommend him and I’d go again if we have the opportunity”
“Experienced one of the most memorable days Ive had up the river with Tom. Couldn’t recommend more for anyone looking to improve there fly fishing and / or looking for a great day out getting it done! Will definitely be booking in again. Thanks mate”
“I’ve fished with guides all over the world, and Tom is among the very best, if not the best around. I could not have asked for a better fishing experience and hospitality. He has my highest recommendation. ”
