where it all began

Gin-Clear Travel developed as a sister company to the fly fishing film company Gin-Clear Media. We are based in a small town in the deep south of New Zealand called Te Anau. Over the last 20 years, Gin-Clear Media has established a loyal and wide spread following via a number of feature films and our RISE Fly Fishing Film Tour.

The company is owned and run by Nick Reygaert. He is world renowned for producing some of the best fly fishing films of all time. In 2006, Nick initiated the RISE Fly Fishing Film Festival in New Zealand and Australia and grew it into a global festival, visiting 16 countries and playing in 5 languages in 65 cities around the world. In 2022, RISE merged with the F3T becoming the largest fly fishing film tour in the world. Nick works as Head of Content Curation for the tour and also manages the international portion of the tour.

Gin-Clear Travel was created in response to a growing demand for hosted fly fishing trips from our fans and festival attendees. We were constantly being asked for fly fishing travel advice to exotic destinations from people inspired by our films, it was a logical step for us to become a booking agency and connect our customers with the lodges and guides that we had filmed with.

The destinations and lodges that we represent are second to none, the best in the world and are the perfect fit to deliver you the fly fishing trip of your lifetime.
