Year-round Taupo Trout Fishing
The name New Zealand raises the pulse of trout fishermen and women the world over, and wild rainbow and brown trout have thrived better in the Lake Taupo system than anywhere else in this country. Many trophy trout over 10lbs are landed by Tongariro Lodge guests each year, with an overall average of over 4 lbs.
The Tongariro River is the most famous fly fishing river in New Zealand. Every year over 50 thousand prime conditioned trout migrate up this river from Lake Taupo, providing truly amazing year-round fly fishing opportunity.
Our expert team of New Zealand fishing guides has provided guests at the Lodge with their fly fishing experience of a lifetime for the last 28 years! A special thanks to all of them.
It is without doubt the angling skill, knowledge and experience of our excellent New Zealand trout fishing guides that maximizes the potential of this extensive fishery.
Each year Tongariro lodge guided anglers fish over 40 rivers and four lakes
We believe guest use of NZ trout fishing guides is essential, regardless of the skill of the visiting angler. We strongly advise that guides are booked in advance.
Through the experience of our guiding teams, special access to many rivers that run through private land has been acquired. Every year our guides get out and explore more 'waters' for our clients to enjoy. This area truly is a vast fishery that can provide the trout fishing experience of a lifetime year round to the beginner and expert alike.
We run our own rafts, four wheel drive vehicles and boats, and have some of the best back country nymph and dry fly fishing for sighted browns and rainbows to be found anywhere. Our helicopter access options offer truly remarkable fishing, but are by no means necessary.
Didymo
Tongariro Lodge is doing its very best to keep out the invasive algae called Didymo from North Island waters.
From 1st October 2008, felt soled wading boots are not to be used in Fish & Game New Zealand regions.
We look forward to seeing you soon — fishing is great at present.
