Look no further than Uppacreek Fly Fishing, where we offer you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature while casting your line in pristine waters. At Uppacreek, we believe that fly fishing is not just a hobby; it\’s a way of life. And with Aaron Ford as your guide, you\’re guaranteed an exceptional and rewarding experience.
Uppacreek Guiding was founded by Aaron Ford back in 2002. The idea was borne from a chance meeting in 2000 with an American fishing guide, Patrick Moore, at the Salisbury Hut in the Karamea and Owen River area. After a few hours of chat over some vegemite and cheese sandwiches and a Cuban cigar, Aaron & Patrick soon became friends. Patrick then taught Aaron how to cast a fly. This simple gesture quickly developed into an addiction and a passion.
In 2005 Aaron decided to become a full time fishing guide and has never looked back. Since his chance meeting with now lifetime friend Patrick, Aaron has had the opportunity to work in Alaska, Mexico, and Russia managing fishing lodges, guiding, meeting amazing people and making lifelong friends.
Aaron is now in cahoots with two other fishing guides here in the Motueka area. They fish together & share knowledge together and are now all part of a team with a combined experience of around 50 years. Aaron is also a member of the NZPFGA.
