The Lindis River flows through a steep valley in the heart of Otago, one of the driest regions in New Zealand. This freestone river offers a classic backcountry fishing experience for dedicated anglers. The river's character is defined by its clear, swift-flowing water and a rugged, remote landscape that ranges in elevation from 220 meters above sea level. Fishing here requires careful planning and respect for the environment, but rewards anglers with the chance to pursue wild trout in a spectacular setting.
