Hunting & Fishing

Southland is an angler's dream, with easy public access and plenty of fish in the rivers and lakes. Fishermen (and women) travel far and wide to fish the beautiful Southland rivers for world-class trout. The environment here allows you to put your skills to the test as you enjoy magnificent mountain vistas, picturesque river valleys, lush rural areas and majestic rivers. 

If you've got a permit to hunt on public conservation land, there are many places across Southland to hunt. You can hunt anything from red deer to pigs, goats and more.
