Nestled in the heart of scenic Canterbury, Back Country Trout invites you to embark on an unforgettable adventure into New Zealand's pristine wilderness. Since 1998, we have been proudly offering guided fly fishing tours that cater not only to ardent anglers but also to those seeking a unique and immersive experience in the great outdoors. Picture this: a crisp morning, dew glistening on lush greenery as you step aboard our meticulously maintained boat charters. The serene calm of the lake mirrors the sky above, and the anticipation builds as your guide shares insights into the behavior and habitats of the elusive wild brown and rainbow trout lurking beneath. Our expert guides are more than just fishing enthusiasts; they're storytellers who will captivate you with tales of the river and its secrets, all while customizing your itinerary to ensure an experience tailored to your skills and preferences. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a curious beginner, we strive to create an environment where everyone feels at ease and ready for the challenge. But fear not if fishing isn't your cup of tea!

From cozy cabins to luxurious lodges, we have something for every taste and budget. At Back Country Trout, we believe that every fishing trip is more than just catching fish; it's about the connections made, the stories shared, and the memories created amidst breathtaking landscapes.
