Backcountry Heli-Fishing
Taking a helicopter to fish the New Zealand backcountry transforms a great fishing trip into an elite, bucket-list adventure.
A helicopter flight deep into the mountains will uncover some of the most legendary and challenging fly fishing in the world
These are trophy waters where huge trout cautiously cruise in deep clear pools. These fish can be picky!
The angling can be technically difficult – demanding stealth, knowledge of the current, and an accurate cast. But when all these factors combine, the reward is likely to be the catch of a lifetime.
Most remote backcountry rivers
The most rewarding water is often guarded by rugged terrain and dense bush.
A helicopter flight turns a grueling multi-hour trek into a swift, breathtaking journey, effectively buying you an extra day of fishing.
You’ll arrive fresh at the headwaters where the water is at its most crystalline. These pristine conditions offer the ultimate arena for world-class sight fishing, allowing you and your guide to spot trophy trout with surgical clarity.
Spend your day stalking specific fish in high-definition—maximizing every moment and every cast in the heart of the wild.
It's as easy as that
With Helisika located at the front gate, helicopters can easily pick you and your guide up from outside the Lodge or Blake House and whisk you away to the most secluded and idyllic fishing spots.
Pack your lunch and choose to hike back to Poronui or set a time with your pilot and head back to the lodge in style.
