xed route, since we go where the fish are most active on the day. General flow: Depart Wanaka Marina and cruise across Lake Wānaka, with guide commentary on the region's history, flora and fauna. Pass several of the lake's islands, taking in Southern Alps mountain views and picturesque, untouched shorelines en route to the day's fishing grounds. Fish drop-offs, rocky shorelines and deep contours for Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout and Quinnat Salmon — trolling, spinning, or adjusting location and technique to where the fish are biting. Conditions permitting, we may stop at a remote beach or bay for shore-based spin casting, and a swim on warm days. Return to Wanaka Marina. Short but high-opportunity, this trip suits anglers and non-anglers alike — part fishing adventure, part scenic guided cruise, within a tighter timeframe.
Meet at the new Marina Wharf/Jetty. Look for the Orange Boat and Reel South Charters signage.
