“Jeff Forsee is quite simply the consummate fly fishing guide. While you may think the day starts with the always on time pick up at your accommodation, Jeff has been preparing for your trip well before. Jeff’s hallmark is meticulous consideration of likely weather conditions, water levels and drawing on his vast experience of South Island waters to work out where the fish are before settling on a plan for the day.
Importantly, Jeff communicates his thinking so you learn and understand the factors behind his decisions.
The often changeable South Island weather and the need to dodge the dreaded “w” means that Jeff will adjust the plan during the day to get you onto fish.
The result of this careful preparation is the opportunity to catch trout. Lots of them and big!
I’ve fished with Jeff on multiple days each year for the past 5 years. I’ve never had a blank day!
On the water Jeff has a uncanny ability to see fish. You will learn something new about fly fishing, trout and nature each trip whether you are a beginner or an experienced fly fisher. Jeff works tirelessly for his clients.
Not only is Jeff a brilliant and considerate guide and fly fishing coach he is a fun, all round great guy to spend time with.
I would strongly recommend a multiple day overnight stay trip. He also makes a mean smashed avo on toast as part of his delicious breakfasts!”
