"I have known John
Baker for over 10 years and have used his guiding services for myself
and business clients. Whether they are new to the sport or experienced
anglers John has the ability to communicate and guide at all levels.
I have enjoyed fishing the rivers such as the Tongariro, Whanganui
and Whakapapa with John. A day in the back country to the very private
Chopatui lodge is a must on the trout fishermans bucket list. John
really has created the “home of world class fly fishing”

"In the last 10 years John has been
my guide on several trips. John is a very experienced and fun guide
to be with. No matter where the fish are, he knows where and how
to catch them. Whether you are an experienced or novice angler:
there is always something exciting that you will get out of the
trips. John's humor will make your day out even more fun."
Paul, Amsterdam
"Trout fishing on the Tongariro River
with John Baker is a day to beat all days. No matter what your level
of fishing expertise he is there to make fishing for trout an experience
that will be a source of pleasant memories long after you have hung
up the waders and returned to the everyday life. I often say that
fishing does not ALWAYS involve fish, but with John Baker at your
side that will be the RARE day indeed."

" John has been my fishing guide on
many occasions over the last seven years. We have fished the Tongariro,
Tauranga-Taupo, Whakapapa, Whanganui, Rangitikei, Mohaka, Ngaruroro,
Lake Otamangakau, Lake Kuratau and Lake Taupo. John's knowledge
of the region's rivers and lakes is extraordinary; he knows where
to go, the best time to go, the lines and flies to use. I've landed
lots of trout over the years and had many wonderful times.
John is a great guide and a friendly, helpful person. I highly recommend
him to the novice or the very knowledgeable person seeking a great
fishing experience."

"We are from Victoria, Australia, and
we have been fishing in New Zealand two or three times a year for
around 12 years now. Mostly we base ourselves in Turangi because
of its central location to so many good trout fishing rivers and
lakes. While there, we always engage John to get the benefit of
his expert assistance and information about what is ‘hot',
and how to get into the action.
John knows all the rivers and lakes in the
Taupo fishery like the back of his hand, and rivers in the ‘back
country' as well, which provide fantastic locations for fishing.
Through his networks of contacts and his access to local information,
his advice is ‘real time': what flies to use, where to fish,
which runs and pools. These constantly change, so to be able fly
in from out of town and be ‘on the money' first up is fantastic.
Even though we know a bit about fishing, his extensive knowledge,
always enthusiastically given, always adds value (and good fish).
John also adds good fun to our trip. He is a great story teller
("we got 47 fush out of that hole last week"), has a good
sense of humour, and makes a day's fishing enjoyable and sociable."
