Fishing near Blenheim, Marlborough

Blenheim sits at the heart of Marlborough, on the Wairau Plains at the top of the South Island. The area is best known for its brown trout fishing on the Wairau River — a classic braided river with a healthy population of good-sized fish — alongside sea-run salmon and a gateway to the saltwater fisheries of the Marlborough Sounds, where snapper, kingfish, and kahawai are the main targets.
