    Fantastic Fishing Taupō!

    3 Hour Trip – Special (PM) • 4 adults

    Captain Marty was superb from the moment we arrived. Terrific experience and highly recommend, even if the weather wasn't the best. He answered every question we threw at him and found the perfect spots to catch beautiful rainbow trout. Thank you so much.

    Reported catch:
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

    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.

    Reported catch:
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)

What's biting with Fish Taupo in Taupo

Other smaller lakes open up for fishing around October, making it a great time to explore fisheries like Lake Otamangakau and lake Kuratau for the great opportunities they offer.
