Gday just wondering what sort of fishing fly? Lure or bait fishing? Thanks

Comments

Hiya Fairlie, I hope you are well. Thanks so much for your question regarding the Lake Fishing Experience - Queenstown Fishing - Fly Fishing trip. For this trip they actually use neither of those methods, they use what is called an imitation insect instead, they come in all sorts of varieties and colours, some are small and large and some will sit on the top and others along the bottom, it would depend on which fish we are looking to catch as to which one will be suitable.

Can i book a spot without fishing? I would like to join my husband on the boat, but not fish. If so, price?

Thank you for your question, yes you are able to join the Queenstown Fishing Tour, this would be on a stand-by basis the cost for this would be $165.
