点评:My partner and I booked a trip with Chris for this past Easter weekend. We are from Nova Scotia, Canada, and had been planning our trip to NZ for ages. As an avid fly fisher, and fishing guide back home, I had heard amazing things about the trout fishing in NZ. All I needed was the right guide, and we for sure found him :). Chris was phenomenal. He is so bubbly and kind, and is a wealth of knowledge. His eyes are the sharpest I’ve ever seen, spotting fish in places I never would have on my own. This style of trout fishing was largely unfamiliar to me, but Chris was patient and thorough in his explanations, and got me into plenty of beautiful fish. The option to take a 4WD trip along a gorge really added a lot for both my partner and I; it felt like a really great way to appreciate the rugged backcountry of NZ. While my partner doesn’t fish, she had a fantastic day tagging along, chatting with Chris, taking photos, and absorbing all of the nature around her. Chris was very accommodating and was able to provide waders and boots for both of us, as well as the rods for me to fish with. All in all, I am still daydreaming about this day, and can’t wait to go back. Thanks again, Chris!
翻译:我和我的搭档在刚刚过去的复活节周末预订了 Chris 的旅行。我们来自加拿大新斯科舍省,计划新西兰之旅已经很久了。作为一名狂热的飞钓爱好者和钓鱼向导,我听说过新西兰的鳟鱼垂钓非常精彩。我需要的只是合适的向导,而我们肯定找到了他 :)。Chris 太棒了。他非常活泼和善良,知识渊博。他的眼睛是我见过的最锐利的,能发现我独自一人永远无法发现的地方的鱼。这种鳟鱼垂钓方式对我来说很陌生,但 Chris 耐心而透彻地讲解,让我钓到了很多漂亮的鱼。选择乘坐四轮驱动车沿着峡谷旅行,真的为我和我的搭档增添了很多乐趣;感觉这是一种欣赏新西兰崎岖腹地的绝佳方式。虽然我的搭档不钓鱼,但她度过了美好的一天,跟着 Chris 一起,与他聊天,拍照,并沉浸在她周围的自然风光中。 Chris 非常热情,为我们俩提供了防水裤和靴子,还为我提供了钓鱼用的鱼竿。总而言之,我仍然在幻想这一天,迫不及待地想回去。再次感谢你,Chris!
