Fly Fishing Taupo                      

161 Highland Drive, Acacia Bay, Taupo 3377, New Zealand

Lake Taupo, the size of Singapore, is surrounded by glorious rivers and streams that are blessed with larger number of trout, making it a heavenly spot for fly-fishermen and women. One of the reasons the fish populations are so healthy is that you cannot purchase trout or find it on restaurant menus here. All fish consumed has to be caught privately, which has limited overfishing and poaching seen in other fishing destinations. There really isn't a bad time to fish in Taupo - during the winter months, the fish enter the rivers to swim upstream and spawn, while during the summer, you can also fish in the shallows of the lake.

Whether you are a beginner or advanced fly fisherman/woman, it pays to go with an expert here, since the terrific Taupo guides can take you off the beaten path and into more rugged back-country terrain. Indagare Tip: One of the great joys of fly-fishing is that even first-time novices can master the movement quickly and, with the help of a guide, can end up catching quite a few trout (catch and release), which is an undeniable high.
