There are some bloody good river runs in your area and some nice local lakes.
I have a great place in the Grey Valley to hunt and fish and the upper Grey from the Clarke to the SHW bridge at Ikamatua is an awesome afternoon out in the packrafts.

One of the best uses for the packrafts is quietly fishing up river all day in your typical canterbury river.
Then instead of turning around early and having a long slog out ( you end up walking a lot further than you think ) you just get out the packraft, blow it up and bomb it down in a fraction of the time.
That way you have seen any issues or tricky bits of water on the upstream walk / fish and know where to either haul out and walk around or you at least know the line to take to avoid something.

Thanks for the offer, I may take you up on that if I ever manage to get some free time...



Have seen the Incept kayaks and they look nice but not cheap!
