Ray is very knowledgeable, as well as personable. He’ll do everything he can to help you catch fish. Beyond that, he’s just a great guy and became what I consider my friend by the end of the trip! I’ve been fly fishing for a long time but still learned new things. Caught plenty of fish and learned a lot about NZ in the process. At the end of the day I had a new friend and felt like I had been fishing with a friend all day. Go with Ray!

Extremely happy with the trip. Ray is very experienced angler, very knowledgable and amazing companion, my husband and I have spent beautiful time with him. We’ve never tried fly fishing before and Ray was doing all his best for us to get most of the fly fishing and the time spent in the woods. Highly recommend Ray to everyone who wants to try fly fishing for the first time or just want to get upskilled in that activity. Thank you once again Ray.

Cannot say enough about our day on the river with Captain Ray. Not only was the scenery beautiful on our drive there and the hour drive back but Ray was very knowledgeable and super patient. My husband and I had done a small bit of flyfishing, but ray was a great teacher. Caught 2 big rainbow trout and crossed it off the bucket list. River and woods beautiful .  Would highly recommend.

After meeting up and got our gear on, we went to a beautiful river site. With skill and patience, Ray instructed us well throughout the day. He gave us pointers and helpful advice whenever needed, to hone our fishing skills and techniques. Catches of brown trout as well as rainbow trout made the trip superb!🤩 Will definitely go again next time we visit!!

My wife and I were lucky enough to share a half day trip with Ray in early November. He gave us an amazing experience. Ray is knowledgeable, well prepared, helpful, passionate, patient and an overall wonderful guide. We highly recommend booking an trip with him. Thank you again Ray for a trip we will never forget!!
