Grant Henderson

Born in 1953, GRANT HENDERSON grew up fishing the brown trout rivers of the Wairarapa before discovering Lake Taupo’s wonderful rainbow trout fishery around 1960. He has fished the lake and its rivers, including the Tongariro, for many years. Despite years of experience with a fly rod, he finds there is always something new to learn about the sport.

After working as a lawyer for 10 years he switched to legal publishing. He has spent the last three decades in this industry editing law publications.

He lives in Auckland with his wife and son. Fishing the Tongariro: A History of Our Greatest Trout River is his first book.
