For a great time on the water with one of Taupo's most experienced captains and trout fishing guides check this out!
Being asked to field test a couple of the Hardy Sintrix range of rods in somewhere as glorious as New Zealand’s North Island is as good as it gets. But making such an arduous journey and accessing the less celebrated rivers of the backcountry is another matter. By all means swot up on the books, videos and the relevant topo maps as sources of information, but to experience the full shebang, hire a guide.

To my mind, when I hire a guide, I am looking for him or her to be a vital conduit of information. By fast tracking me into water that will offer me the best chance of hooking up, and putting me on an accelerated learning curve in employing techniques to fool the fish. In short, I am adopting economy of effort. Shane French ticks all the above boxes and more. He has boundless enthusiasm and compassion for his beloved Taupo fishery and will always put maximum effort into a days guiding to ensure the best possible chance of success. Whether your prerequisite is to sample the challenging wilderness of the bast backcountry, or simply to have a more pedestrian day on one of the many excellent local rivers, nothing is too much trouble. Factor in very reasonable daily rates and the fact that he has one of the best selection of killing fly patterns I have seen, any angler visiting the Taupo region should seriously consider employing his services. It is money well spent, hence why I will be tapping into his expertise on my return visit in 2016.
