Guided trout fishing on Lake Wakatipu and Southern Lakes rivers, departing Frankton Marina.
Queenstown Fishing run guided trips out of Frankton Marina, fishing Lake Wakatipu and the rivers of the Southern Lakes for wild brown and rainbow trout and landlocked salmon. They fish year round, moving between the lake and the rivers as the season allows.
Lake charters
Shared charters run two to three hours and private charters two to six, working the drop-offs and river mouths around Wakatipu. Shared trips start at around $310 per adult; private charters from $1,590 for the boat.
Drift boat
A drift boat rowed or run on a silent electric motor, which gets into tight water a bigger hull cannot reach. This is the trip for people who want to fish rather than sightsee.
River trips by 4WD
Fly, softbait and spin fishing on high country rivers and alpine streams, reached by four-wheel drive rather than by boat.
Expeditions
Longer itineraries for anglers with time to spend: helicopter-accessed water, multi-day fly fishing, and an Alps-to-Ocean challenge.
All trips leave from Berth B02 at Frankton Marina on Sugar Lane. Book ahead over the summer holidays.
