Your best bet would be the Rakia or Waitaki Rivers, both around 60 kms from
Christchurch, in the South Island.

The best method by far is to hire a guide with a jet boat who will take you
up-river. The boat drive in inches of water is a real buzz. This way you get
to fish a lot of pools, plus see some great country - and you could come
across a hobbit or two in the headwaters, hopefully no orcs though.

Contact 'Complete Angler' in Christchurch

Hope this helps
