Background: "My father owned a fishing and hunting store and started us young. I became a full-time guide in 1996 doing backcountry fly fishing and charter boat skipper.

He's passionate about spreading the joy of fishing with anglers of any skill level, whether they're pros or total novices.
Techniques: Dry fly on a river always gets me!! Prefered on the boat is fly fishing and our form of jigging and soft baiting.

3 Hour Trip – Lake Rotorua Trout

Captain John is great with kids and knows the area very well. Because there’s an algae bloom in Lake Rotorua, he recommended we go to Lake Okareka instead, which is a swimming lake with stunning views! Both kids and parents had a wonderful time and a good catch. He also helped us clean the fish at the end.

Thank you Martin, it was an absolute pleasure to have you onboard and catch a couple of our trout, its a shame the waterproof superglue didn’t make some fish stick to the hook.
