To gain access to some of the North Island Central Plateau's most adventurous fishing it
is necessary to get into remote locations in the mountain ranges. One minute
in the air is more than an hour walking in the mountains, and with helicopter
access you can be fishing these outstanding streams in no time. The stunning
scenery is matched by the thrill of flying by helicopter for a day of sight
fishing on superb freestone trophy rivers.
Pete Fordham guides over 40 helifishing trips each year, bringing considerable
experience to this exciting pastime. He carries a satellite phone at all
times on remote backcountry trips.
The use of a wading pole is recommended on most freestone rivers as there
are rarely any tracks.
