Reviews
Exceptional
We had the great good fortune to be guided by Ciaran Kirkham, one of Wild Waters Fly's trusty guides, on a recent club trip to the Taupo region. It was one of the best day’s river fishing either of us has had.
Exceptional guide - knowledgable, patient, and supportive, with an almost magical skill for creating opportunities to catch and land good fish.
I felt I came away from a long day on the water totally satisfied, physically exhausted, with some extra knowledge and skills, and some great memories.
Dustin and his team are highly recommended. Jon
Attention to Detail
Just a note to say thanks for the great day I had recently. I appreciated your attention to detail, helpful hints & work to put us in in the right spots which lead to many fish hooked.

EXTREMELY COMPETENT!
For the last three years, the Victorian Fly Fishers' Association Inc has engaged Dustin as it's lead fly
fishing guide for the Association's annual week-long trip to Waitahanui on the shores of Lake Taupo Each year, Dustin has done a fabulous job across the week of providing extremely competent, comprehensive, and friendly daily guiding services for the group (up to 16 fly fishers), bringing along
other local guides to assist with the daily requirements. Every trip participant guided by Dustin and his team reports catching good fish, and learning from
their guide - be that stream craft, line management, still water technique, and the like.
I can certainly recommend Dustin when it comes to group guiding services.

FIRST CLASS
This is the second year l have fished the Taupo area with Dustin...the service and guiding have been first class and he is very good with old codgers ...l lost a couple of kilos with the walking but put it back on with his wife's food...looking forward to returning next March...
