Hey Guys,
I am a young fellow looking to get out and fish Zealand. I was wondering if you guys had any idea how or what i need to do to set it up. i wanna go for a about six months to a year. Any advice you guys got would be greatCooter,
You are in for a real, real treat. I spent a month trekking NZ last May and it is everything that you’d imagine. My plan is to return for 3-6 months of nothing but fishing after graduation.
PM me and I can offer some more info. Also, if I’m not mistaken there are a few other board members who’ve made the trip.
Start looking for a good camera!

Welcome and I am sure you will have an absolute blast down here.
If you are down here for as long as you propose you’ll certainly work it out. Get a good pair of boots preferably aquastealth with studs and be prepared to clean your gear between all waterways.
Smile lots as the locals are all very friendly 🙂
If you are here for as long as you say be prepared to leave briefly after 3 months for visa purposes, most US nationals I know go to Fiji or Australia for a week or so and then return.
There is a shortage of seasonal workers (There are dispensations for tourists if there is a shortage) and you might pick up the odd job to help pay for your gas.
If you are down all this way I would recommend you make the effort to go to Australia as well.
