Trout Fishing with Graham Pyatt
THE FISHING:  Graham Pyatt came to New Zealand from England primarily because of his love for trout fishing and has over 25 years of experience fly fishing the Taupo and Rotorua regions and he has rapidly gained an international reputation for his in-depth knowledge of the sport and his proven ability to provide clients with fishing action at it's best.  Graham is a long-standing member of the New Zealand Professional Fishing Guides Association (NZPFGA). 

Graham's fishes specifically with the visiting angler in mind and takes you to areas renowned as world-class fly fishing destinations.  Whether you are an expert or a novice fly fisher, you can experience the thrill of fishing the many rivers and lakes in the central North Island, including the mighty Tongariro, in pursuit of the abundant large brown and rainbow trout.  By way of a change, you may want to experience the thrills of raft fishing the more inaccessible waters or night fishing the stream and river mouths; either way, your adrenaline is guaranteed to flow.

During the summer months (December - March), Graham can escort you to the many rivers and streams where you will be enthralled by the dry-fly fishing and extraordinary scenery all within easy driving distance from Turangi.  Fly-in trips to more remote areas by helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft can be arranged.

A little more relaxing but no less exciting is the fly-fishing from Graham's well-equipped and comfortable boat  "Ragtime"  at the Tongariro delta or on the mountain lakes noted for trophy trout.
