We caught so many frish we couldn’t believe it. And it seemed we had the lake to ourselves for the first 2 hours.  Marty even took us out to see the Maori rock carvings which was very special. It was a wonderful experience not only fishing but watching the weather shape shift around the late. From mist to rain to sunshine.  All in all a very worth while morning.

Excellent day out, easy going.  We were 2 adults and 2 10’year olds.  We caught 6 trout but could only keep 3 due to size.  Marty is a patient, kind, knowledgeable and chilled captain.  He answered a lot of my kids’ questions!  Definitely would recommend him. Tip - If you’d like your trout smoked at a local butcher’s, then you need to be there by 3pm to deliver the trout in order to pick up your fish the next day.  Otherwise the butcher can courier to you.

A bit chilly at first but warmed up as the morning went on, the Captain found some good spots and we hooked numerous fish, some too small, but kept 3. The Captains recommendations to take our larger catch to be smoked at Farmers Quality Meats (also picked up some streaky bacon for breakfast!) and the smaller fish to Crafty Trout to be cooked for our dinner were both accepted with delicious results! We couldn’t be more pleased with how our day began and ended in Taupo!

My family enjoyed a fantastic morning on the water with Captain Marty, catching seven trout to keep, missing a couple and letting a couple smaller ones go. The boat was very comfortable with plenty of space to move around for our family of four. Marty was very knowledgeable and was great with our boys.

We had a wonderful afternoon with our fishing guide Marty. The boat was immaculate and he was very knowledgeable about fishing in the area as well as the town of Taupo. Mart was very personable and conscientious about us having a good time with successful fishing. We landed a couple of beautiful trout and had a very delicious dinner that evening. Each outing is private. We highly recommend booking with Marty as you will have an enjoyable experience!
