About Your Guide
If you want a guy who is real real passionate about catching fish, be it out to sea aboard his Charter Boat “Out of the Blue” or stalking trout up one of our local rivers in Hawkes Bay, Tony Hildesheim should be your guide.
My fly fishing obsession started back in the 70’s, where as a student in forms 1/2 at Lindisfarne College High school Hastings, we had Mr Tony Orman as our Fly Fishing Club teacher, our favorite subject off course. Looking back now and reading some of Tony’s early Trout Fishing books really make you appreciate what a great era it was with the introduction of Nymph fishing and with Tony at the forefront of its introduction
My father, Bert is also a very keen trout fisherman. I still have many very fond memories of him taking a friend and I up to the old Sandy Creek river mouth delta at the northern end of Lake Tutira, where 8 to 10 trout being hooked in a day were not uncommon.
With New Zealand having so many excellent rivers and such nice undeveloped countryside, I see great potential for me to build-up the trout fishing side of my business. It really gives me a real buzz to take customers to some of the most beautiful rivers in the world and for them to catch and release that wonderful fish the “Trout”.
I also operate a successful fishing charter boat business in Hawkes Bay for the past 7 years. Catching all species of fish from snapper to yellow fin tuna on all kinds of tackle including light sports spin fishing sets to saltwater fly fishing.
And when the fish aren’t biting I can be found working in the fresh water department of your local Hunting & Fishing store Guns and Tackle.
