Fishing is an excellent wet weather day activity! The Hanna-k is fully covered, to keep you warm and dry throughout the entire activity. The fishing can be excellent on cloudy and drizzly days. If you&rsquo;re concerned about your clothing, we also have wet weather gear available upon request.

Whether you&#39;ve been salmon and trout fishing for years, or you just want to dip your toe in the water, experience some of the best freshwater fishing on the West Coast with a local Franz Josef fishing guide.&nbsp;Set amongst a breathtaking landscape and led by your knowledgeable Skipper, every Franz Josef Glacier fishing tour is an opportunity to experience something truly unique.

Lake Mapourika&#39;s calm, reflective waters hold many Brown Trout and wild Salmon, with the salmon season running from October to March and trout fishing available year-round.&nbsp;Fishing techniques include trolling, harling and spinning. You may keep your catch if it&#39;s legal and in season; otherwise, it&#39;s catch-and-release.

Sit back and unwind while trolling silently past 900-year-old Kahikatea trees and listening to native birdsong&nbsp;while you wait for a nibble on the line!&nbsp;Between bites, experience the beauty of the lake, with&nbsp;panoramic views of the Southern Alps, glaciers, and untouched rainforest reflected on the glassy waters.&nbsp;

The Hannah-k can seat a large group comfortably inside the cabin area and can fit&nbsp;four fishermen out on the back deck.&nbsp;The Skipper will provide onboard commentary and fishing expertise throughout the trip.

The boat also has a BYO license for a few cheeky fishing beers, and they&nbsp;also provide hot refreshments along the way. Plus, for non-fishers, the&nbsp;scenery and commentary will have everyone engaged and having fun!
