Rotorua fly fishing guide Julian Danby offers professionally guided fly fishing trips and boat fishing charters throughout Rotorua and the wider Central North Island. Rotorua’s world-renowned trout fishery is an essential part of any serious trout angler’s trip to New Zealand, yet it is so often overlooked.
My name is Julian Danby, owner and operator of Rotorua Trout Guide Limited and a member of the New Zealand Professional Fishing Guides Association (NZPFGA). Having fished Rotorua’s streams and lakes since childhood and guided professionally for over a decade, I offer a range of fishing experiences throughout Rotorua and the wider Central North Island.
Rotorua Fly Fishing
Rotorua offers exceptional trout fishing throughout the year. From sight fishing clear spring creeks and remote backcountry rivers to fishing the Rotorua lakes, trips are selected according to the season, conditions and experience of each angler.
Fly Fishing & Heli-Fishing
Guided fly fishing trips range from half-day Rotorua fishing through to full-day and multi-day backcountry adventures. Heli-fishing provides access to remote wilderness rivers and streams throughout the Central North Island and is one of the most memorable ways to experience New Zealand fly fishing.

Rotorua Boat Fishing Charters
Rotorua boat fishing charters provide another way to experience the region’s renowned trout fishery. Full-day, half-day and 3-hour charters are available, with techniques including jigging, harling, spinning, soft plastics and fly fishing from a purpose-built fishing boat.

Saltwater Fly Fishing
Saltwater fly fishing trips target yellowtail kingfish on the shallow tidal flats of Tauranga Harbour. Sight fishing for kingfish in shallow water provides a completely different New Zealand fly fishing experience and complements the freshwater fishing available in Rotorua.
