Brown trout fishing at Lammermoor is a hidden gem for anglers seeking solitude, scenery, and serious fish. The Taieri River winds its way through the station, offering exclusive access to private stretches of water rarely touched by other anglers. This quiet, unpressured section of the river is home to some of New Zealand’s finest brown trout—wary, wild, and worthy of the chase.

Whether sight fishing with dry flies or drifting nymphs through deep pools, the variety and quality of the fishing here make for a truly world-class experience. The surrounding high-country landscapes only add to the appeal—wide open skies, golden tussocks, and the peaceful rhythm of the river. Whether you’re a seasoned fly angler or looking to add something special to your hunting trip, a day on the Taieri offers the perfect balance of challenge and reward.

King of the High Country

Red stags are widely regarded as the pinnacle of New Zealand trophy hunting—and for good reason. With mature stags often weighing around 400 pounds and carrying large, heavily beamed antlers, they command attention in the landscape and in the field. New Zealand has developed a global reputation for producing some of the finest red stags in the world, thanks to its ideal habitat and generations of thoughtful land and wildlife management.

At Lammermoor, red stags thrive across vast, varied terrain—from open tussock country to rolling ridgelines—creating a true fair-chase experience. What sets them apart is not just their size and strength, but their individuality. Each stag grows a unique set of antlers, meaning no two trophies are ever the same. Whether you're stalking through valleys or glassing from the hills, encountering a red stag in the wild is always memorable.

Especially during the rut, stags become highly territorial and vocal, constantly on the move as they defend their hinds. This combination of size, behavior, and unpredictability makes them a challenging and rewarding species to hunt, and a must for anyone seeking a classic New Zealand trophy.
