Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Totally enjoyed a day fishing with Brett Cameron as our tutor, guide & companion. In the morning we tried fly fishing.I'm a complete novice but with his tutoring I caught & released a couple of trout. I enjoyed the tranquility of river fishing. Brett picked us up from our hotel: he has all the fishing equipment, waterproof clothing & waders so we needed to take nothing with us. In the avo we went out fishing for a few hours on the lake in Brett's boat. After that we were happy to head a little out of the main centre to soak in the excellent geothermal Wairakei hot pools before pizza at the Two Mile Bay Sailing Club. Perfect.

I booked Brett for an afternoon fly fishing excursion to the Tongariro River and had a great experience. Brett was professional, friendly and corrected my bad casting habits. The rainbow trout were some serious river monsters. Recommend.

We booked Brett for the day -- our first guided fly fishing trip ever, and first in New Zealand. My husband is an experienced angler; I am a beginner at fly fishing. Brett spent time on his cell phone while with us, and at times disappeared altogether, including once when my husband had a fish on and needed a net. Brett would show my husband where the fish was and then let him get after it, without much instruction or guidance. My husband had a strike early on and missed it; Brett was so frustrated with about the miss that he went on about it several times that day saying how he had missed a "golden opportunity." By early afternoon, I felt that Brett had given up on me and was just focused on finding fish for my husband. And he did in all fairness, as my husband caught several. I would not recommend Brett for a beginner; I was upset almost from the beginning because of Brett's impatience, frustration, and lack of ability to truly teach and instruct. If I was less determined about learning to fly fish, I would have given up on the sport after that day.

We fished for two days in different beautiful spots.
Brett was very good and patient with me, as it was my first experience with fly fishing. Prepared the nicest sandwiches and snacks and had everything you could possibly need on a fishing trip.
Loved to do it again!

Spent a great day fly fishing with Brett in Taupo back country. Hadn't fly fished for 25 years but still managed to get about a dozen fish on drys and nymphs and learnt a heap. Brett is an excellent guide. If there is a fish around he will give you your best chance of catching it. He has a genuine love of the fishery and the environment which made the experience even better. Lisa also catered extremely well for my food intolerance. Thanks cpf!

We went on a 3/4 day guided fly fishing trip with Brett. Was a wonderful day learning how to fly fish. Caught 3 rainbow trout. The spectacular New Zealand wilderness was a stunning backdrop for our beautiful day of fishing. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our morning fishing with Brett. He took us to three different spots on the river and we went from being complete novices to being proficient at casting in a few hours. Unfortunately we didn't get a bite but that didn't spoil our morning at all and we have both now got the bug. Brett is very knowledgeable about his subject and patient when teaching. We would thoroughly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to fish.

Brett was a great host and teacher. took my 87 yer old mum and on her 1st cast under Brett's guidance she got a strike.
I went up and down stream and had numerous strikes, landing 4 lovely rainbows.
Brett's guidance and instruction was easy for this first time fly fishing novice.
Also appreciated Brett and his wife's quick replies to my emails from Australia to confirm the booking.

For my girlfriend and I, it was our first fishing experience and i have to admit that we’ll remember it a long long time. Thanks to the magnificient Brett !
Let’s begin with the boat, handsome, spacious and well maintened, you gonna fish with professionnal and high quality equipment. About Brett himself : Professionnal, good teacher, teacher with humour, in less than 10 minutes on the beautiful Lake Taupo, Carole & I caught our first rainbow trout with so many pride and congratulations from him. But fishing with Brett it’s not only fishing, but also clear explanations about Taupo, the environment, his history. To resume, it’s just a pleasure to spend time with him.
