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.

    This was a fabulous day with my South African friend and was all that the website described. Pete was really affable and 30 years of expertise made our day. The spoting of Tongariro fish was an art to behold.
    Thanks again for the experience.

    Fishing with Susan was a great experience. She was knowledgeable and patient with us as we learnt to fish for trout. I would highly recommend a charter with Fish Her Charters and we will be going again.

    Captain Nick …. Thank you. Amazing. A fantastic day out. Very professional, te Armani 11 boat was clean and very comfortable What a wonderful experience. We took 3 trout home, lost two that got off the hook and returned one little one. Well worth the money. I’d recommend to anyone.

    Andrew is an exceptional person and a great fishing guide. He has a great sense of humour. It was an absolute pleasure to go fishing with Andrew. If I can I would give Andrew 10 stars.
    Highly recommended.

    This was one fun afternoon! We all absolutely loved the time spent on the boat. The skipper was entertaining- had us all in fits of laughter - but also made sure we were safe.
    The food was great and filling, the target shooting was as a good time, and the byo option was the best. We loved it, the staff loved it - said it was the best afternoon they’ve had. Would 100 percent do it again.

    Richard was an incredible skipper, really enjoyed our time on the lake, and managed to get a couple of trout for dinner. Richard even gutted the fish which was great. Highly recommend White Striker for a very enjoyable time on the lake. He knows his stuff and keeps it casual but with professionalism.

    Peter was patient, helpful and encouraging in teaching me the best techniques of fly casting and presentation in order to catch a Tongariro rainbow trout. And we got one on my birthday. We spent the whole day with him from 8.30am to about 6pm at night as we fly fished various locations on the Tongariro. We managed to hook another one late in the day, but it got away. It was a beautiful winters day being windless and sunny so I couldn't have been happier fly fishing the Tongariro, with Peter as my guide. Apart from being very knowledgeable about fly fishing, most importantly he is a really good, honest guy who strives to provide the best experience he can for his client.

    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 was sent to work in Nz and took a few days to go fly fishing in these legendary waters. Ross Hamilton was referred by a friend of a friend. I have been fortunate to fish many parts of the world and I have learned your luck on guides can make your trip. Ross was amazing. His knowledge is tops, he has access to water others do not and he will get you shots at big fish. I should say huge fish. He is also good at keeping you calm as it is tough to count to 3 prior to setting the hook and never commented on my errors or bad casts. After one of those amazing days we pulled up and several neighbors were over for a BBQ. I was invited to join them, the food was excellent the company was even better. Ross is top notch and if I could give a score of 10 I would give him an 11.

    We had a great day trip with Brett - we had a great morning of flying fishing and an awesome afternoon out on Lake Taupo fishing. It was a really great day, lots of fun and we caught some beautiful Taupo Trout! Brett had lots of patience while teaching me to fly fish and is an amazing teacher and put my hubby onto a beautiful rainbow trout. Our packed lunch that was provided was delicious!!
    It was an amazing day of our honeymoon and we will definitely be fishing with Brett again soon!
