    Nice Kind Captain, Best Trip ever

    We got 6 but one escaped, two were too skinny so we kept 3 for our dinner :) Captain Marty is super nice and very patient, different experience from sea water fishing, just chill on the beautiful lake!

    Fantastischer Ausflug

    3 Hour Trip – Special (AM) • 4 adults • 2 children

    Wir als Familie 2 Erwachsene & 2 Kinder hatten einen fantastischen Ausflug! Marty Staines war sehr angenehm und ruhig und liess auch die Kinder „Arbeiten“. 3h waren für uns Anfänger perfekt und wir konnten viele Forellen fangen und auch mitnehmen. Wwürden den Ausflug sofort wieder buchen. Vielen Dank für das tolle Erlebnis!

    Top Taupo Trout Trip

    3 Hour Trip – Special (PM) • 1 adult

    Marty is just the nicest skipper you could ever meet. In spite of the really windy conditions with whitecaps and significant swells,he found some more sheltered spots and I took home some very nice trout. On Marty’s advice, I bought some lemon pepper and Alfoil. My wife and I are sitting recovering after a wonderful trout dinner,washed down with an excellent New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc ( our motel has a barbecue).What a day ! if you visit Taupo, this the trip for you.

    Amazing Trip

    3 Hour Trip – Special (AM) • 2 adults

    We had an amazing morning with Marty, he really knows his stuff, would highly recommend him to anyone. 10 minutes into the trip hubby caught his first and they didn't stop, caught 15, had to throw 3 back but ended up with 12. Hubby was in his element and thoroughly enjoyed himself. Thanks Marty.

What's biting with Fish Taupo in Taupo

As springtime sets in, you'll notice a steady increase in the number of Brown Trout lurking in the shallows. Good luck out there!
