Thread: Fiordland lakes advice

Been years since I've hunted them . Keen to take a week and take boat down and shoot a deer and fly fish . Want to take my dog . Is there anywhere I can get away with a dog ? . I remember seeing keen as types with deer dogs when I used to hunt down there . Also spot lighting was a national pastime too back then . Advice pls

Fiordland NP is no dogs "officially" as far as i'm aware, but have seen the odd one in places.

I seem to recall you can take dogs into Waitutu though?

Thanks I'll look into that

Anybody had a look around Mavora lakes and snowden forest ? Looks dog friendly

Yep, from memory Snowden forest has some ok hunting in it. But you can't go in there during lambing because of a certain old prick, part of him putting the Anglers access in.

Mavora lakes is sweet as for dogs as far as I know, and some good chamios numbers. Also some fallow there.

Plus you've got a lake there for a fish, although I'm not sure what the fishing is like.

Eyre mountains just up around the corner also.

Only a few dogs allowed in the FNP, they have to be approved and there is a limit on how many can be approved (something like 10 dogs max).

Thanks Puku
