A fishing trip on a boat is a good introduction to fishing in Taupo. Contact Marty for a trip on "Stratus". He can give you some good advice!

Check the weather to dress appropriately, and get fishing licence from DOC in advance. Don’t bring too much food as boat owners may prefer to keep their boat as clean as possible.

Contact captain in advance. Confirm where to meet. Confirm what to bring. You’ll need to pack food, drink, sun screen, hat, and something warm in case the sun isn’t out. If you want music or entertainment other than the fishing, bring that too. Marty has a cheeky, dry sense of humor. We loved it.

Easy to fish trout from a boat. Not much of a fight and good for beginners.

Prepare for an amazing day on the water.
Regardless of the fishing, the location is unbelievable. Fish are fish, every hour is different. If you catch 1 or bag out, it’s been a great day, otherwise, a bad days fishing beats the best day at work, hands down! Tight lines, and best of luck.

This was our first time. We went with Marty Staine and it was the perfect day out. Caught plenty of fish with Marty’s set up. Recommend going with his fishing trips.

Experienced fly fishers should target brown trout in the Tongariro River at the southern end of Lake Taupo. It seems the big Rainbow trout are located a fair few meters below the surface (i.e. deep water) so unless you have your own boat etc, then best to charter an equipped boat.

Fishing license is a must and you can do only fly fishing in the rivers and creeks.
Lake Taupo - you will need a boat to catch any fish as you can not catch anything from the banks. Lure fishing is the way to do it and no live baits.
Trout size 35cm to be legal to keep.
