Did you know the Mackenzie Region is one of the best spots to catch a fish in New Zealand? With a wealth of waterways from fast-flowing mountain rivers, hydro canals, streams and lakes the region has an abundance of trout and salmon. The huge watershed of the Southern Alps provides sparkling, crystal-clear, cool waters – providing the perfect habitat for trout.

The Mackenzie is home to plentiful game animals, including Himalayan tahr and chamois on the rugged alpine ridges, and fallow deer and red stag in the hilly tussock country. The Mackenzie is also home to game birds, and waterfowl along its clear streams and turquoise lakes. Professional outfitters provide personalised guiding services, gear and valuable local knowledge to ensure a successful hunt.
