It’s no secret that New Zealand has outstanding fishing! From fly fishing our stunning rivers and backcountry streams to coastal sport fishing and deep sea fishing for the biggest striped marlin in the World, New Zealand offers numerous fishing opportunities to cater for all tastes and skill levels.

Heli Fishing: Heli fishing is available at Alpine Hunting's north Island lodge for any hunters booking a 7 night hunt between March and late April. For private group bookings, heli fishing is also available outside of our hunting season between October and February.

Our Alpine Hunting team includes our very own guides in the nearby Lake Taupo region for trout and spin fishing, and we’ve also teamed up with NZ’s top game fishing skipper Geoff Lamond for game fishing charters and the ultimate NZ hunt n’ fish adventure. Our hunting lodge is situated near the headwaters of the magnificent Rangitikei River, and with our very own private river boundary available exclusively for our guests it would be hard for anyone to beat such a great opportunity to experience the great New Zealand outdoors.

If you'd like to take a short break in the middle of your hunting day to fish the Rangitikei River, your hunting guide can take you to our River boundary to enjoy the tranquil and scenic setting that is accessible only to our hunting guests. In the warmer months, if you're nice to our chef he may even prepare a picnic lunch you can enjoy on our private landing as you dabble in some catch and release trout fishing. (We have 3 miles of river frontage however due to difficult terrain only limited access is available between February and late April by request only).
