Your New Zealand Fly Fishing Guide - Dean Harrison
I provide guided fly fishing trips throughout Canterbury, the South Island and the West Coast, with trips designed around your interests and the conditions.
Meet Dean Harrison, your local New Zealand fly fishing guide
I have lived most of my adult life in and around Christchurch, New Zealand. I spent 35 years working in the radio industry. I have always had a passion for the outdoors and have run my guiding business as a beautiful parallel alongside my other endeavours.
I love sharing this beautiful country that I have the privilege to call home with new friends and visitors. I love fishing, I love talking about fishing, showing people fishing, guiding fishing… lol! It would be an honour and a privilege to share this with you.
I’ve been fishing since I was a wee fella and I’ve learnt a thing or two along the way.
I’ll cater for beginners through to experienced anglers, and I can provide fishing equipment if you need it.
My job is to take care of the details so you can concentrate on the important stuff.
Finding fish. Making the cast.
And hopefully watching a big trout disappear with your fly!
Custom Fly Fishing Packages
My mission is to give you the best darn trip possible – fabulous fishing, stunning scenery, memories to last a lifetime.
For the real “adventure hound” in remote locations, to a quiet evening fishing a lake for the evening rise. In my opinion the ideal scenario is one or two anglers being guided. Tents or cabins, it’s up to you. Walk up a river, or fish the lake edge.
Day trips or multiple day adventures available.
Guided Fly Fishing in the South Island
If you think that when you’re doing what you love, it’s not ‘work’ at all, then we’re on the same page: I absolutely love the challenge and the adventure involved with being a guide for trout angling…. and I do it as much as I can fit in around my two boys and other commitments.
Contact me today and open a conversation about YOUR dream Fly Fishing Adventure. We can custom design a trip that takes you to the places that will cause the things you want to do, in beautiful surroundings with all the gear you need.
If you’ve got a particular river, type of fishing, timeframe or adventure in mind, tell me about it. If you have absolutely no idea where to start, that’s fine too.
We’ll have a chat and I’ll help you work it out.
So if you’re planning a New Zealand trout fishing trip, looking for a fly fishing guide in the South Island, or simply want to know what might be possible while you’re here, then reach out. Looking forward to hearing from you!
