Frank Krieger

Frank Krieger is honored to carry forward the legacy of the Best of New Zealand as its Owner and Partner. His earliest fly fishing memories come from childhood days spent exploring the small Pennsylvania streams that ran through the yard of his aunt and uncle. Trained as an engineer, Frank built a successful career in consulting and sales management before joining the Best of New Zealand team. Married with three children, he has played a key role in strengthening and expanding the company portfolio.

Frank has traveled widely in pursuit of great fishing experiences throughout the United States and across the globe. Among his favorite adventures are journeys to the Kingdom of Bhutan and the Cook Islands. Even so, no destination compares to New Zealand, where untouched landscapes and the thrill of pursuing those clever brown trout continue to inspire his passion for the sport.
