Meet Your Guide

Your guide Dave Monds has a passion for fly fishing learned on the rivers and streams of New Zealand and developed in the US, Canada, and Europe. As a professional pilot flying internationally for over 20 years, Dave brings a mindset of safety, comfort, and adaptability to the dynamic environment of fly fishing. His experience of fly fishing in New Zealand and around the world has taught him that nature is not something to be mastered, but a rhythm to be learned. A cadence.
