About Helicopter accessed Fly Fishing with Blanket Bay

We highly recommend that you allow us to plan and arrange helicopter fishing trips, where we can take you to stretches of water possibly not fished this season by any other anglers where you will stalk wild rainbow and brown trout.

There are waters with brown trout only and some with sea run trout (steelhead). Within 15 minutes of the lodge by helicopter are many miles of wilderness rivers and streams, inaccessible to vehicles, and accessed by foot only over great time and difficulty. Helicopter access makes the most of these virtually untouched waters.

For the even more adventurous we can arrange an exciting full day heli-fishing experience on up to three different rivers. A trip to Fiordland combines sensational scenery with unsurpassed fishing. Or visit the West Coast, where rivers flowing into the sea can produce sea run browns at selected times of the year.

The pilots we engage are very experienced and have extensive knowledge of the diverse Fiordland, Southland and Otago landscapes. They are all familiar with unique weather patterns in these regions, a very important aspect when flying in this mountainous terrain
