GUIDED FLY FISHING
"Imagine, your hands shaking and your knees knocking, as you make a cast to a trophy brown trout, to then watch it slowly rise to sip your small mayfly - such dreams do come true in New Zealand!"
Being in the middle of the South Island, Christchurch is a great starting point to access an amazing variety of world class fly fishing. From lowland browns to high country rainbows and overnight back country trips, we fish the top of the island to the central southern high country. From sunny Nelson in the north to the breathtaking landscapes of Mt Cook and the beech clad West Coast, we base our fishing decisions on weather, water conditions and fishing experience to suit every angler.
She’s On The Fly caters for all levels of experience from novice to expert, and all fitness levels. Want to fish a classic New Zealand freestone river? Maybe a lake, or a charming little spring creek?
Let us know and we can make it all happen!

There's nothing like taking the time to really soak in the atmosphere of the NZ wilderness, to let yourself breathe and give yourself the best shot of nailing that fish of a lifetime.
We can fish top of the the South Island anywhere to Central South Island, so let us know your travel plans are and we can organise a trip to suit your needs. Whether you want an overnight camp out or to stay in an iconic Kiwi bush 'hut' - we've got it all covered.
For multi day trips out of the Canterbury region, the client will pay for guides accommodation and meals if not camping out.

Helicopter camp outs
You know what's better than a scenic helicopter flight? Catching a trophy trout when you disembark!
If planning a multi day trip into the wilderness, we would recommend using a helicopter to reach beyond the foothills and add more comfort to your trip. It also eliminates a lot of hiking with a heavy pack, leaving you more energy to focus on catching that monster trout!
Helicopter fees are always P.O.A depending on when, where and what size of helicopter needed. Using a helicopter allows access to many remote rivers that don’t see a lot of anglers, and provides a true back country experience along with some sensational scenery.

What to bring
We often get asked by clients planning their trips what to bring. Here is a small list of some of the items you will need on your fishing trip with us. In New Zealand, while we have rugged mountains we still live on a small island! As such, the weather can be incredibly changeable - so you'll need to bring suitable clothing.
Suitable Hiking or Fishing Boots - provided if needed
(biosecurity rules mean than felt soles are not allowed in NZ rivers)
Rain jacket/ Windproof jacket - natural or dark colour, not bright or white!
Lightweight long sleeve top - again, preferably natural colour
Warm Mid Layer Top
Polarised Sunglasses
(note that we are now an official distributor of Smith sunglasses - let us know if you'd like a new pair for your trip!)
Thermal Base Layers - Both Top and Bottom
Quick Dry Pants
If you would like to bring more of your own gear then a 30L day pack would be suitable for day trips. Camp out trips differ from full days, we'll provide separate gear list for these excursions.
FISHING LICENCES
Please note that before you start you fishing adventure of a lifetime, you will need to purchase a sports fishing licence here in NZ. These licences are not covered by the guide and you can obtain them either online at www.fishandgame.co.nz, or any local Hunting & Fishing store.
CATCH & RELEASE
In New Zealand we actively promote catch and release. She's on the Fly supports this practice wholeheartedly and is 100% behind any measure to help preserve our amazing fisheries.
