About Me

As member of the New Zealand Professional Fly-Fishing Guide Association since its inception, my life-long experience on Nelson-Motueka-Marlborough rivers gives me an edge. Whether you are a seasoned angler, a novice, or need extra care, I’m serious about you catching trout, but not so serious as to take the joy out of fishing.

I don’t walk for miles, but simply read the river and put you in the best position for success. With my knowledge of entomology, we use my own hand-tied flies. I choose the right fly for the moment. I’m patient and keen to work at your skill level.

I keep things simple, always encouraging you toward better fishing. There’s so much more to guiding than throwing hooks at fish. Good guiding means humor and fun along the way. And while guiding is a “team sport,” a day of guided fishing my way is all about you.

What Anglers Say About Their Unforgettable Experiences

  • Ted, Georgia

    USA Season ’23-’24

    I recently spent three days fishing with Richard and enjoyed them tremendously. He is a fine gentleman, knows where the fish are, and will do everything he can to help you catch them. Furthermore, he’s a great teacher who really helped me improve many of my techniques…’Easy-peasy’ Richard offers a perfect balance of great instruction in a non-offensive manner. I award him Best Guide of my NZ fishing tour.

  • Geoff

    Australia Season ’23-‘24

    I’ve fished with plenty of guides over the years all over New Zealand and was recently very impressed with Richard. His seemingly simplistic approach to fishing was refreshing and many of his catch phrases still stick in my mind: “You can do it the hard way or the easy way” and “less is more”. Combine this with Richard’s obvious in depth knowledge of the local rivers, and catching and releasing those big wily browns, ensures you will have a fun filled, extremely satisfying day.

  • Kylie and Slaton,

    South Carolina ‘Season ’23-‘24

    We thoroughly enjoyed our day fishing with Richard! We caught some beautiful trout, and he was a very knowledgeable and patient teacher. We had great conversations about all things regarding fishing, the natural landscapes of New Zealand, and just life in general! We highly recommend spending a day or two fishing with Richard!
