Matira flyfishing-Quentin Donnelly
Trust Quentin of Matira flyfishing to guide you on a worldclass fishing Experience
Growing up in Southland, Quentin’s formative years were spent along the banks of the Aparima River, or one of the many other world class waters in the province.
Quentin (or “Q” as he is more commonly known) was lucky enough to have a father who put a fly rod in his hands at a very young age, and in doing so has sparked an unrelenting drive to learn about every aspect of the sport.
The pursuit of the ultimate angling experience has seen him travel domestically and internationally chasing both fresh and saltwater species, as well as stimulating a successful progression to other aspects of the craft such as fly tying, rod building, writing and eventually guiding .
With medium size rivers such as the Oreti, Mataura, Aparima and the Waiau at his doorstep as well as the many other small streams and Stillwater options available in the province he can cater for all skill levels, weather conditions and abilities.
For “Q” the South Island and its fisheries epitomise fly fishing in New Zealand, and he looks forward to sharing these truly special waters and their strong, selective, wild trout with you.
