New Zealand has always been hailed as the "El Dorado" of trout fishing. It represents the true essence of the sport - sighting , staling and casting to magnificent trout in crystal clear waters.

Lake Rotoroa has thirty five rivers within one hour's drive distance of the Lodge and many more if one uses a helicopter. The trout typically average 4 to 6 lbs with fish over 10 lbs landed by lodge guests every season. For over twenty years Lake Rotoroa Lodge fishing guides have been famous for bringing together international trout fishermen with some of the finest guides in New Zealand.

The staff at Lake Rotoroa Lodge recognise that the guest/guide relationship is critical and can be the making or breaking of a New Zealand fishing experience. Therefore great effort has been made to ensure that all the finest guides, who are not only excellent river craftsmen but also great companions, are sought out and made available to guests who wish to enjoy this spectacular sport.

As the staff at the Lodge understand the needs of fishermen there are wading equipment as well as countless premium brand rods and reels to loan to guests who are travelling as well as fishing and do not wish to carry equipment.

Besides the time and effort the staff at Lake Rotoroa Lodge take to ensure those who enjoy fishing in the surrounding rivers and lake guests are very well looked after those who are not so interested in partaking in the fishing activities of the day are also very well looked after by staff who are happy to help in the organisation of other activities nearby or are a wealth of knowledge in suggesting what guests may want to do.

Whatever activities guests partake in at Lake Rotoroa Lodge this special part of the world will not be forgotten soon!!
