John Boyles - Professional Fly Fishing Guide

West Coast Fly Fishing - South Island New Zealand.

Ikamatua - Best of the west fly fishing "The Iky Experience!"

Ikamatua, which means "Mother Fish" in Maori, is located on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. The Coast is world renowned for its, wild rustic appeal. Rugged coastlines combined with sprawling native bush offer a contrast of scenery unavailable anywhere else. Ikamatua is formed around sprawling native bush, hills and rivers.

Three rivers join into one at "Iky." Ikamatua is not considered a main fishing destination ... which creates a distinct advantage ! Anglers who take time to stay and fish here leave with wonderful, memorable, lifetime experiences.

John Boyles has been fly fishing for 34 years, 20 of which in the Ikamatua region. He has been a professional guide for the last 10 years and is the longest service guide who resides in the area. His expert knowledge of the fishery and its conditions, as well as his fly tying and casting instruction to both the novice and advanced angler, helps to create a complete fishing experience. Sighted fishing and stalking trout when conditions allow. Very patient instruction on fly casting, novice to advanced anglers.

"What can I say about a lunatic fisher who dances in joy at the sight of a sipping nose? Who laments to the heavens above when the trout are not to be seen. Who nears orgasm when the fish takes the fly.

What can I say, my friend? Enthusiastic? Knowledgeable? High energy? Talkative? Persistent? Tenacious? Friendly? Sexy? Helpful? You are all of these and more. In short, as good a companion and guide as anyone I have ever fished with."
