Salt Water Fly Fishing

Onepeto is only 15 minutes from the continental shelf water.

During the months of December to May, the ocean waters are often teeming with school fish - Mackeral, Kahawai, Tuna, and Game-fish.

Tangaroa is ideally set up to cater for parties who specialise in salt water fly fishing.

Helicopter or light plane flights are available as packages.

Accommodation and meals to suit.

Salt Water fly fishing is growing in popularity. The East Cape is referred to as "one of the last frontiers to be discovered". Deep Ocean waters at our doorstep, quiet and open space, a world away from the Urban jungle. So ideal to the challenges and enjoyment of Salt water fly fishing.

"Experience fly fishing for Snapper in 30 metres!"
