Fly Fishing

Our specialist fly fishing guides have the local knowledge and expertise to show the experienced angler how and where to fulfil their dreams, but they also have the patience and desire to see the novice fishermen and women enjoy their Taupo experience. During the summer months, most of the fly fisher’s attention turns to the Wilderness Rivers and the superb dry fly fishing on offer. Clad in chest waders, you can nymph or wet fly fish till your heart’s content, and when your arm tires you can stand and enjoy the amazing scenery that surrounds you. The lake provides the fly fishermen with plenty of opportunity. From December onwards, the smelt come into the shallows of the lake to spawn, and are followed by the trout which gorge themselves on this once a year delicacy.
