Trout Fishing With David Dods

CLEAN WATER, OPEN SKIES AND TOURIST-BOOK SCENERY
are part of the universal appeal of angling.

I am a member of the New Zealand Professional Guides For Trout Fishing and has guided anglers for the past 20 years.
I welcome any excuse to take others into wilderness areas to take rainbow and brown trout from fresh water using every legitimate method from fly and dry fishing to nymphing.

Welcome beginers! TOP

Don't worry!
even though this is the first time
you go trout fishing.
I will teach you so much about so many
different aspects of Fly Fishing!

*
"Fish your feet first"

*
Use polaroid glasses ...

*
Wear a hat

*
Grey and brown clothes

*
Walk slowly ... See and stalk all the fish!

*
You pick up the fly-casting bit
after only 2 lessons.
It's so much easier & exciting!

*
Oh, You are "hooked"!
You will pursue the sport with any free time
that you have to go trout fishing!

Fisherman's Cabin TOP

I have my cabin with a spectacular view close to Lake Waikaremoana,
that overlooks a trophy trout lake at Tuai, inland from Wairoa.

6 people can sleep here.

Duck & Pheasant Shooting is available in May and June
- private lake holds 7 Guns - Mallards and Paradise Ducks ...

Let's Go Fishing! TOP

1 to 3 day trips on the best of the rivers and lakes in the East Coast.
A 4 Wheel Drive Nissan would be driven to your destination and pulls my boat Fryan 600 to where ever we want to fish.
Of course all the fish are sighted
before they are caught - ranging from
3 to 6lb.


Lake Waikaremoana

Lake Waikaremoana
I consider it to be the 12th wonder of the world because of its scenic values. The peace and tranquillity along with spectacular brown and rainbow trout fishing make it the closest thing to paradise on earth.

River Ruakituri
Has Rainbow and Brown of good fighting quality, can be caught on dry fly and nymphing.

River Motu
Has Brown only and require some expertise and experience of angler.

River Waioeka
Has Rainbow only, is not reliant on so much experience.
