Rob had spent many a day in the Mackenzie Region hunting the surrounding hills, but the Canals had always been a bit of a mystery to him. Rob and his daughter Jess wanted to learn the techniques to successfully fish the Mackenzie Canals.
Both were rewarded with some fantastic fish. It was a real pleasure watching Jess’s confidence and enthusiasm grow throughout the day as she caught more fish and ultimately had bragging rights over dad landing the biggest fish. It was great seeing Jess and other young anglers taking advantage of the school holidays and having success on the canals. I think Rob and Jess will definitely be back!

One greedy fish! Fish and Game tagged and released this fish on the 14th of Jan 2026 from the upper Tekapo River Spillway, and at the time of tagging it weighed 1.18 pound. The fish had put on approximately 7.82 pound in 208 days which is very impressive! A great catch Tim. Well done.

Mark and Tim wanted to learn the tricks and techniques of fishing the canals before doing several DIY days themselves. The day got off to a cracking start with a double hookup on the first drift and the fish kept coming throughout the day with both anglers catching some cracking rainbows, browns and even a great salmon which no doubt will taste delicious.

The Mackenzie Canals are a bucket list destination for so many anglers. The scenery and chance to catch a massive trophy trout makes it such a special place. There is no better feeling as a guide than seeing the delight on clients faces when they land the fish they had spent so many hours planning and dreaming about.
