Trippin on Trout
Alex Waller
Central North IslandNew Zealand is known throughout the world as THE place to go to test your skills as a fly angler. The fish here grow BIG and they get that way by being smart. In addition to that, the rivers and lakes are gin clear and so it makes for a challenging experience all round. You don’t get many second chances here and so stacking the odds in your favor is very important.
Now a YouTube star, Alex is based in the heart of the North Island of New Zealand and has spent his time exploring the endless backcountry lakes and rivers that surround him. He's always looking for that ultimate sight fishing experience and loves nothing more than dropping off the grid, finding those places that most people don’t go, and then pitting his wits (and yours!) against the huge trout that live there.
Alex is a current member of the NZPGA (New Zealand Professional Guides Association) and has more than 25 years of experience of fly fishing
