Catch a Fish is a small-group, owner-operated fishing experience with a maximum of just six guests, giving everyone plenty of personal attention and the chance to be genuinely involved.
Whether it’s your first time fishing or you’ve fished for years, the experience is adapted to you. Beginners are guided through everything, while experienced anglers can get more involved with techniques, gear and the Lake Wakatipu fishery.
Once fishing, we use a fully electric trolling motor, meaning no engine noise while we fish. Its clever GPS route-following system can automatically guide the boat along our fishing route, giving your skipper more time to interact with guests, help with the fishing, answer questions and share his knowledge.
Quality fishing gear, a comfortable purpose-built boat, experienced local guide, locally sourced treats and cold drinks are all included, creating a relaxed and personal way to experience Lake Wakatipu and Queenstown from the water.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
3 Sugar Lane, Frankton, Queenstown 9300 (45°01'08.3"S 168°42'57.6"E) The boat will be ready at the jetty next to the boat ramp (between the Boatshed café and the Boatshed Bakery). Just look out for our blue Catch a Fish boat.
What to expect
Target rainbow trout, brown trout and salmon using techniques such as trolling and downrigging, with all fishing equipment provided. No previous fishing experience is needed, your skipper will help beginners every step of the way, while experienced anglers are welcome to get more involved and talk fishing techniques and the local fishery.
Once fishing, we use our fully electric trolling motor, meaning no engine noise while we fish. Between bites, enjoy the spectacular Lake Wakatipu scenery, surrounding mountains, locally sourced treats and cold drinks on board.
If you catch a legal fish you’d like to keep, we can clean and vacuum-pack it for you to take away. Catch-and-release is also welcome. After approximately three hours, we’ll return to Frankton Marina.
