On the Fly Mataura River Festival

Come hang out on the banks of the Mataura River as we celebrate fly fishing, the elusive brown trout, our world-renowned river and our title as the World Capital of Brown Trout Fishing.

From 12 noon - 4:00pm River Terrace in Gore will be abuzz with food vendors, fly fishing guides and enthusiasts, free kids activities and local artists.

Entry is free and there will be something for the whole family - even your pet pooch!

All dogs must be on a leash at all times, unless they are having a splash in the river. Owners must pick up and dispose of any excrement. Not suitable for reactive dogs (loud noises, crowding etc.).
