From Lake Tarawera , the supplier of the hatchery fish, famous Te Rata bay, it’s hot water springs and beaches, Lake Rotorua with the best catch rate and the legend of Hinemoa and Tutanekai, Lake Okareka surprises everyone with its quality fish and Lake Rotoiti with its reputation for a surprise sized trout. Within 15 to 30 minutes from Rotorua city you can be on our boat ‘Hamills Killer’, named after the famous fishing fly developed for the Rotorua lakes and be in with a chance to catch one of the regions famous and fabulous trout.

The methods we use are jigging, soft baits, trolling, harling with a fly rod and fly fishing, these all depend on the time of year and where the fish are in the water column. ‘Hamills Killer’ is fitted with the latest Hummingbird electronics and the new MinnKota Instict Quest electric trolling engine you are asured of increasing the odds when fishing for our trout.
