YOUR GUIDE

I have fished my whole life both locally and internationally and caught everything from trout to marlin.

My time off and holidays usually involve fishing, whether it be exploring new rivers in NZ or sight fishing the flats in the tropics.

I have a passion for fly fishing, especially New Zealand's bush clad streams. I love to explore new rivers, not knowing what is around the next bend. There is nothing better than finding that perfect run or pool for the first time and catching that 'fish of a lifetime.'

I tie my own flies, have my own patterns and love showing people just what our fly fishing is all about.

My best mate "Briggs" [chocolate Labrador] accompanies me and many of my clients on our fishing adventures.

I am the owner/operator of 'Central Plateau Fishing' a member of NZPFGA, CD's Pro network team, first aid certified and qualified skipper.

Cheers Brett.

Behind the scenes:

Lisa, my wife keeps everything running behind the scenes for Central Plateau Fishing, she responds to the majority of email enquiries while I am out guiding, takes care of our marketing as well as packing tasty lunches and snacks for the various trips.

She pretty much organizes everything so that it runs smoothly for you, our clients.

Lisa has caught many a fish in her time, both salt and freshwater and can cast not too bad a fly line. She has held various fishing titles and trophies in the past. Now her idea of the perfect fishing trip is watching me while she reads and entertains Briggs!

"Let me know what I can do to tailor your trip to make it a memory of a lifetime, be it a riverside picnic with a bottle of bubbles, gift voucher for someone special or riverside accommodation for a multi day trip"

Cheers Lisa.

"Regrettably now back in Melbourne, after the really wonderful five days in NZ, of which my time with you was the highlight.
It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day under your guidance, and you can expect to see me in Taupo again. I'll be recommending your skill and knowledge to friends here in Aus, and have no doubt you'll put them in the same satisfied frame of mind as I'm presently enjoying (if on my last day on leave)."
