10 Days
New Zealand
Backcountry
Fly Fishing · Red Stag Hunting · South Island
Ten days in New Zealand's South Island backcountry — one of the last places on earth where you can cast a dry fly to a 10lb brown trout in the morning and stalk a trophy red stag through alpine tussock in the afternoon. Genuinely wild, genuinely remote, genuinely world-class.
