Lake Rotoroa Lodge is perfect for travelers who enjoy dry fly fishing in mountain streams or want a place with lots of hiking trails and outdoor activities. The lodge has the patina from serving decades of fly fishers and adventurous travelers: a touch of unpretentious luxury on water's edge with forested mountains dominating the skyline. The fishing guides are superb, and you need them to help you unlock the secrets of fishing crystal clear water where large brown trout are easily seen but not easily brought to the net. This is fly fishing of the highest order and a skilled angler can land a handful of trophy trout a day. There are over 20 fishable streams and rivers in close proximity to the lodge. An available helicopter can get you deep into the backcountry for day trips; no stream is over fished and there is good fishing somewhere close throughout the season (November to the end of April). Food, service and attention to detail are all up to Orvis standards at this world class lodge.
