Fishing Classic entries opening SOON!!!

Long Weekend Dreams?

What could be better than a few days fishing the crystal clear waters of lakes Te Anau and Manapouri, and the Upper Waiau River? Te Anau Fishing at its best!

The Stabicraft Te Anau Manapouri Fishing Classic, held every Labour Weekend, is the perfect opportunity to soak up majestic views of Fiordland and the Te Anau Basin and enjoy some perfect Te Anau Fishing!

You can picture the serenity. Cast a line from shore, or bring the boat to get right out into the middle one of the beautiful lakes.

It is a fishing competition for the whole family - adult, junior and child anglers lining up to catch a fish. There’s also a category that gives kids a chance to learn to fish with a separate comp, the Cruise Milford Take a Kid Fishing competition held at the picturesque McGregor Pond.


The Ultimate Prize – Win a Stabicraft!

All adult participants who catch a fish go in the draw to win our grand prize – a Stabicraft 1850 Supercab boat package, valued at over $100,000.

This incredible package includes a Garmin fish finder and a powerful Yamaha outboard, making it the ultimate setup for any fishing adventure.

Whether you’re a long-time competitor or trying your luck for the first time, every fish you land could put you one step closer to taking home this once-in-a-lifetime prize.
