“Going to New Zealand is like traveling into a dream- a country with friendly people, incredible scenery and huge trout. I've been there 23 times, and with each visit I come back rejuvenated with memories and photos to last a lifetime.” – Val Atkinson


Join Val Atkinson, renowned and award-winning photographer, on this trophy-trout fishing safari… it’s going to be a trip of a lifetime; there is no finer host, photographer, friend and pointman to have at your side than Val. There is very limited space to accompany Val on this adventure. Ten anglers for the Poronui Lodge portion of the trip, and only five anglers for the Cedar Lodge segment. Anglers can opt for both trips, or choose just one.


This trip is being coordinated through The Fly Shop’s award winning Travel Team. You can contact Val at valatkinson@speakeasy.net or Mike Mercer at mercer@theflyshop.com for an opportunity to get in on this top-notch trip.
