Here's what David and Amy recently said about Papatura and just a few of the fish they released.

Papatura for me gets a 6 out of 5 star rating it was absolutely beautiful and comfortable, the food was generally excellent, staff very friendly and more than happy to help anytime
For us the fishing was great, we ended up tallying 39 species, the fishing wasn't always easy but that's what we like.
Eric our fishing guide was amazing, I think he struggled figuring us out at first as we're not worried about catching monsters unlike a lot of his clients but once we built a rapport I'd give him 12/10 rating.
