Rainbow Trout Fishing
Fishing on Lake Tarawera
3 HOUR PROFESSIONALLY GUIDED PRIVATE BOAT EXCURSION
Depart from Solitaire Lodge’s jetty, for a private lake excursion jigging and trolling to proven fishing grounds. Lake Tarawera boasts the largest water volume in the Lakes District, at an average of 200ft deep, and is the ideal spawning ground for Rainbow Trout. Catching 4 to 5-pound trout is a regular occurrence, the excitement of which is only matched by the lure of the chase, and the enjoyment of fresh trout prepared for you by our chef.
Boat fishing on Lake Tarawera is not available for 1 July through 31 September as it is a breeding lake. Please contact the lodge for alternative options.
