Fly Fishing

Robby Cribbs

I started fly fishing when I was a kid.  I've been instructing and guiding anglers for over 20 years. 

I grew up in Colorado but fell in love with New Zealand. My family and I moved to the Nelson area in 2018.  Since then, I've spent countless days exploring the rivers on the top of the South Island in search of trophy trout. 

I'm a proud member of the New Zealand Professional Fishing Guide Association (NZPFGA).
