Kristina Placko & Daryl Paskell

Lumsden, New Zealand · 30 yrs exp

Kristina Placko and Daryl Paskell are the guides behind Fly Fishing Southland NZ, operating out of Lumsden in the heart of Southland — the region with New Zealand's largest trout biomass. Between them they bring together two distinct guiding philosophies and a combined depth of experience that is hard to match anywhere in the South Island. Daryl has been guiding in Southland since 1996, built over decades of intimate knowledge of the region's rivers, their hatches, their moods, and their fish. Kristina is NZPFGA registered, holds a Department of Conservation concession, and runs her own guiding business — Stray South — alongside the joint operation. Her approach is patient and inclusive: she makes fly fishing accessible to anyone, from complete beginners to experienced anglers looking to refine their technique. Together they cover an almost unlimited variety of waters across Southland: pristine freestone rivers, clear spring creeks, stillwater lakes, and remote backcountry streams that few outsiders ever reach. Both fly fishing and spin fishing on light tackle are on offer. The result is a guiding operation with the experience to put serious anglers on big fish, and the patience to bring new anglers into the sport properly.

Hi, my name is Marcin. I live in Norway and fishing has been my passion for many years. Through Go Fishing Norway I organize small, authentic fishing adventures in the beautiful nature of Southern Norway. My trips are a little different from typical fishing charters in the north. Here it’s not only about catching fish – it’s about relaxing, slowing down and experiencing the wild Norwegian nature. Crystal clear water, quiet fjords, small islands and fresh Nordic air create the perfect place to reset your mind and enjoy fishing the way it should be

Lake Storsjøen, Norway

Brown Trout

With nearly two decades of dedicated experience targeting trophy trout, this guide is a proud member of the Rapala Proguide Norway team. Specializing in river fishing, the guide possesses extensive expertise in navigating the Mistra—a wild, 30-kilometer river flowing through untouched Norwegian wilderness, widely regarded as one of the finest trout rivers in the country. From May through June, large trout migrate upstream from Lake Storsjøen, providing premier opportunities to target truly trophy-sized fish. The river’s diverse structure, ranging from powerful rapids and deep pools to calm, slow-moving stretches, is perfectly suited for the habitat of large, wild trout. With a proven track record of successful catches, the guide offers expert navigation to the most productive spots, ensuring a world-class fishing experience for those seeking to encounter the river's largest residents.

Martín "Tincho" Chambó

Villa La Angostura, Argentina

Brown TroutRainbow Trout

Martín, known to everyone as Tincho, runs Cordillera Fly from Villa La Angostura as a family operation. He fishes the Alicurá reservoir and the Limay system, from the boat and on foot, and takes both fly and spin anglers — which makes him one of the few good options for a mixed group where not everyone casts a fly rod. His programs are built as half-day or full-day blocks that combine into longer custom trips, and he is explicit that he will reshape them around a client's schedule and preferences.

Pablo Zaleski

San Martín de los Andes, Argentina

Brown TroutRainbow Trout

Pablo Zaleski works the classic San Martín de los Andes river system — the Malleo, Chimehuín, Collón Curá, Quilquihue and Traful. He does not sell guiding as a standalone service and does not work to a standard daily rate: his business is complete fishing programs that combine lodging, water access, guiding and transport, built around each group. Which lodge or private ranch a trip runs from depends on the group, the rivers they want and the kind of experience they are after. Contact is direct with the owner from the first brief to the last day.
