Southern Rivers Fly Fishing

I had a wonderful experience on the full-day guided fly fishing trip with Southern Rivers Fly Fishing when I caught not only my first fish on the fly but many more! Jake's patience, expert knowledge, and tips really helped me to improve my technique and success at fishing, and I will be able to use these as I practice in the future. I am particularly grateful for Jake's willingness to go the extra mile to provide what the client wanted from the trip - for me, this was to learn more about how to fly fish and to bring home a couple of trout. I would definitely recommend this to others!

Jake Berry is a very competent and very patient guide. A friend and I just spent the most amazing day with him and caught some great fish in spectacular surroundings. Jakes patient coaching helped me get over some bad habits and improve a number of facets of my fly fishing. Jake is pleasant, informative and very good at his job. Thanks Jake. Youll see us again!

I have had some very successful multi day trips with Jake . He is very personable and his fly fishing teaching skills and experience are on another level.

I have been fishing with Jake for many years, often a number of times a season. He has to be one of the best guides in NZ. Jake was recommended to me by a work colleague and now I would recommend him to anyone wanting a true NZ fishing experience. His passion for fishing, NZ and patience to cope with my fishing skills are second to non. He really provides a great overall experience. Top bloke to boot and after all of these years I now consider Jake a great mate that I look forward to meeting up with every year.

An absolutely incredible trip with Jake. Top bloke who listened to what we said were keen to do and made it all happen. 3 days back country, highly recommended, can't wait to do it again.
