Davey Hibbs

Member since December 2025 Turangi, New Zealand
Background
I've fished on Taupo since I was a child, growing up in the area. I became a commercial fisherman for 35 years and continued to fish Taupo when I was on shore. Now, fishing is my passion and I want to share it with as many people as I can.
Techniques
I love to fly fish, particularly at Otamangakau and Rotoaira. When on lake Taupo I favour trolling and jigging.
