We went out with Craig on a beautiful day and couldn't recommend him more highly. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and where to find the fish, as well as providing a running commentary on why fish would be in certain areas and what lures he was using. This was great for a beginner like me because not only... More

Trip was just as I had imagined- great way to see the lake plus catch a few salmon- very good day out. Craig (skipper) knew good spots to fish, also very knowledgeable and pleasant company. Recommend it to anyone. More

Recently spent two weeks travelling in the South Island, with one week based in Queenstown. The summer weather was fantastic, fine days mid 20's being the norm. Walking through Queenstown wharf area I noticed Craig cleaning his charter boat, we soon organised a half day trip. The lake is a great blue colour it's ringed by high rugged mountains and... More

My husband has previously fished from a riverbank but never from a boat so we took the opportunity to sample the experience whilst visiting Queenstown and we took our 3 year old grandson with us. The experience was totally engaging from setting off from the jetty to finding the fish and a spot to fish for them. Mike our guide/skipper... More

These guys (Craig in our case), really know their stuff. One of us (me) was a novice but i was with and experienced fly fisherman. He immediately set us up correctly and took us to an absolutely fabulous spot. We caught 3 browns and 3 rainbows. All between 1.5 and 3.5 lbs. Beauties them all. We then had a shot... More

During our trip which was part of our Rugby World Cup tour, we hooked up with Craig who was our mad keen South African fishing guide from Clearwater Fishing based out of Queenstown for a planned 4 hour session. Craig took us by boat to a river mouth exiting into the main lake. The flow was excellent for fly fishing... More

Mike our guide was informative, funny and he knew his fishing. We feasted that night on the big Brown & Rainbow trout we caught. Idyllic surroundings to cast a lure. Top guide, top equipment, top day! More
