Adhere to the NZPFGA code of ethics

You will get a professional and safe service when using a NZPFGA member but try to bring your A game to the table. We can help you as much as humanly possible to learn the skills required to have a successful expedition fishing in New Zealand but at the end of the day the guy with his hand on the stick has to do the job!
Simon, I can’t tell you how much I appreciated everything you did to make my fishing trip unforgettable. That trophy brown was totally unbelievable! Frankly, I’m surprised we were able to land him. That was one of the longest fights I’ve ever had with a fish. Fighting that trout and the river current was a whole new experience for me. Your advice and help were invaluable. I will definitely call you the next time I get to New Zealand. And I really enjoyed your website article and photo. Thanks again Simon for putting me in position to catch the fish of a lifetime. And it was almost a few fish of a lifetime. All in all…brilliant!!!
