Very friendly and helpful skipper who knows the area very well
Thank you so much for your review and your photos, we are so happy you had a great day out on the lake and that you got to catch an elusive salmon - well done! Hope you enjoy the rest of your travels - Emma
Amazing fishing hete in Wanaka. Caught a huge salmon and both species of trout.
Second time round for us and it won't be our last. Captain Juno was both an excellent fishing guide, fisherman, and very knowledgeable about the lake, the fish species and the area in general. The trout fishing is by way of very slow trolling which in itself is an eye opener for an experienced salt water fisho like myself. If you only get to come to Wanaka once, you owe it to yourself to get out on the Lake and do something which not many people get a chance to do back home. Very highly recommended.
Hi Peter thanks for your review. Glad you enjoyed your second time around with us - looking forward to the next one! Cheers.
My mate and I had a very enjoyable morning fishing on Lake Wanaka with Jeno from Fish & Cruise Wanaka. We left at 6 am on a beautiful December morning, just as the sun was coming up. We trolled for 3 hours and caught some lovely brown trout, up to around 4 pound. We kept 2 which we took home and cooked, both tasted lovely. Jeno is a very knowledgeable local who can tell you a lot about the local fishing and history. The boat was ideal for 2 fishermen and the equipment in very good shape. Jeno will even cook the fish on the boat for you if you want to taste your catch. Really enjoyed our morning fishing with Jeno and can thoroughly recommend Fish & Cruise Wanaka.
Efficient- had our fishing license within minutes & were under way. Great boat! Everything in it’s place & very tidy. Knowledgeable about Wanaka & the lake... also, willing to share the info. Great guidance & patience- (trolling Wanaka very different than fly fishing in the Rockies). Awesome chefs- grilled 1 of our freshly caught trouts & prepared 1 to-go for us to cook in our condo that evening. Great multitaskers- landed 2 large trout, cleaned them while grilling another... all simultaneously. Customer service above & beyond- Emma assisted us with some transportation concerns. Gino & Emma make a outstanding team. Work well together & are great company. Add to that: the view was awesome, weather was perfect & the fishing was amazing. Can we go back?!
Hi Neva, thanks so much for your review. It was a pleasure having you and Keith onboard on such a stunning morning! You are definitely our good luck charms catching some absolute monsters, and of course you are welcome back any time! Cheers, Emma
We had an amazing day fishing with Gino on Lake Wanaka. He was super knowledgeable and made great company for our morning expedition. He guided us to catching three delicious brown trout and encouraged us to keep fishing! Thanks for an awesome day, Gino! - Zoë and Trent
