Wakatipu Anglers Club Learn to Fly Fish Day
The Wakatipu Anglers Club is based in Queenstown and meets on a regular basis. Established in 1986, the membership boasts some of Queenstown’s most recognised fly-fishing enthusiasts and welcomes all anglers to enjoy sociable club nights, trout chasing expeditions and a shared passion for the outdoors.
Home waters encompass the lakes and rivers scattered throughout the Wakatipu basin, offering some of the best freshwater fisheries in the world. With gin clear waters, the stunning backdrop of the Southern Alps and fish that can easily exceed ten pounds, adventure is only limited by your imagination.
Member resources include a club hut situated on the banks of Diamond Creek just north of Glenorchy, and use our modern club boat. Wakatipu Anglers Club welcomes new members, so if you are interested in finding out more or becoming part of the local fishing community, feel free to get in touch or come along to one of the club meetings to get to know us.
The club holds regular trips, competitions, and a beginners’ fly fishing course which is coming up on Saturday, 10 October. The day costs $150 and includes a detailed handbook of course notes, a fly box with free flies, and half price club membership following the training. Plus you’ll go in the draw for fishing equipment. The day provides the public an opportunity to be mentored by some of the regions top anglers.
The course will be at QLDC Events Centre from 9am. Head to wakatipuanglersclub.co.nz for details and to register.
