Discover Hawkes Bay’s Trout Fishing Paradise
Hawkes Bay offers exceptional trout fishing opportunities. Explore this world-class fishery with Tony Hildesheim, a local expert in trout fly fishing.
Explore Hawkes Bay’s Pristine Rivers
Our rivers are ideal for fly fishing, where you can target trout using nymphs and dry flies. We organize guided trips across the renowned North Island east coast and central plateau regions.
Conveniently Located Near Napier & Hastings
Our base is nestled on the North Island’s eastern coast, close to Napier and Hastings in Hawkes Bay. Just an hour’s flight or a six-hour drive from Auckland, it’s easily accessible.
Napier, famous for its art deco architecture, features a domestic airport and a range of accommodations. From here, we’ll guide you to the finest trout fishing rivers and scenic countryside, helping you land trophy rainbow and brown trout.
Master the Local Trout Fishing Technique
Specializing in sight fishing, I use a three-fly nymph rig—two nymphs paired with a stimulator dry fly, which acts as both an indicator and an attractor. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a beginner, book a guided trip to see this method in action.
