Went for the day with my father and my friend, my father and I were complete beginners and my friend was an amateur. Ended up catching 3 fish and almost catching a dozen more. Very impressed with Jake’s patience with us beginners, we learnt so much and I really didn’t think I would have any hope of catching a fish! Beautiful idyllic NZ scenery just topped it all off! Thanks a lot Jake.…

I have been fishing twice a year since 2016 with Jake and I have to admit it is addictive. Beautiful opportunities with expert advice. Jake has knowledge, tolerance, patience and most of all a good sense of humour. There is nowhere else on the planet but I would prefer to be with such a good mate.…

Best fishing guide I have ever met. Very passion about fishing but Jake is also very good with people. I have been fishing 4 weeks with him and I hope to go back as soon as it's possible

Wow! Seriously where do I begin... Jake is AMAZING! First off he is the world's greatest guide. His knowledge, expertise, and ability to motivate better angling is UNREAL. We did a 5 day guided trip and it was the best. It was my first time to NZ, and I'll be back just to hang out with Jake. I had the best fishing trip ever and learned a ton. New Zealand is so beautiful and it was astonishing to see it while catching the best fish of my life. Thanks again Jake!!!…

FREAKING AWESOME! Right back at you Brett. Absolutely loved my time sharing NZ with you on your first NZ fishing adventure. Great that we could connect through your good mate and long time client of mine Rick, and even better of him to share this trip and experience with you. I had a blast with you both and cant wait for your return soon. Cheers mate.

Although Jake was booked up on the only day I could go out fishing in the Wanaka area, he sent me out with an excellent guide named Paul, who was by far the best guide I’ve ever fished with (anywhere in the world). Paul was an expert at locating fish and devising a plan for catching each one. I hooked up with at least 9, and landed 3, which I was very happy with. The ones we didn’t land were some of the biggest fish I've ever hooked, but it just made me want to come back and try again! Paul was great for giving advice, but also entertaining my suggestions. The river Paul took me to was the exact size and type of river I enjoy fishing most, plus we were totally on our own all day. Paul also had a number of other "backup" locations in case our river didn't pan out, which I appreciated. He also had some great tips for other activities for my family and I to try out while in the area. I really could not have asked for a better day of fishing, and would definitely look to have Paul take me out again the next time I visit Wanaka.…

Thanks so much for the great feedback Paul. Although I wasn't able to guide you personal I had total confidence in putting you out with my head guide Paul, and it sounds like you guys hit it off really well. I am so happy that you guys had a great day and both Paul and I look forward to you returning to fish with us again soon. We have so many great adventures we could take you on here and would love the chance one day to take you on a multi day experience throughout the South Island of NZ. Cheers mate.
