Depart from Solitaire Lodge’s jetty, for a private lake excursion jigging and trolling to proven fishing grounds. Lake Tarawera is widely regarded as one of the premier trophy rainbow trout fisheries in New Zealand – boasting the largest water volume in
Rotorua Lakes District, at an average of 200ft deep, it 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.

Skipper and guide Barry has decades of experience catching trophy Trout on the Rotorua lakes. Of all the places he’s fished, Lake Tarawera remains his favourite. Its pristine waters produce some of Rotorua’s best rainbow trout - "there is something truly spiritual about being surrounded by native bush, steaming thermal springs, and the dramatic presence of Mount Tarawera. It’s a landscape that brings both peace and excitement — the perfect setting for world-class trout fishing."
