About your guide

Casey Cravens guides the Mataura, Otago and Southland streams, and wilderness rivers of the South Island. His fishing obsession dates back to a childhood in a hot dry land far, far away. For 20 years he's fly fished for a wide range of species-from Texas black bass and redfish to Rocky Mountain cutthroats, to Quebec's sea-run brook trout and Atlantic salmon.  He recently spent six months in Chile and Argentina exploring the far-flung fisheries of Patagonia and improving his Spanish.

Casey moved to Dunedin in 1993, where he helps raise two fine boys. He enjoys backpacking the high country with camera and fly rod, sight fishing with a dry fly, and tying new patterns for hatch-driven rivers like the Mataura.
