Below is a
description of just some locations your guide may take you
Rangitaiki river system
- This has a wide variety fishing, River fishing to lake and canal.
Very good fish in the trophy range can be found in this area. A
good location for targeting browns.
Tauranga-Taupo river
- This is a delightful stream, very clear running over a shingle
bed. Both glo bugs and naturals can be very productive. In summer
this river is nice in the upper reaches Fish can be easily spotted
in the clear water but are easily spooked. This river is suitable
for those with some experience.
Tongariro River - At the southern
end of lake Taupo this is a world famous fishery attracting vistors
from all around the world each year. a large flow of water running
over a boulder base.This is believed to be the biggest Number
of spawning fish of any river in the world. I specialise in using
the local method of nymphing in the river. The river fishes well
from June to November when fish are running up the river to spawn.
Over the summer there is a great rise in the evenings. The lower
reaches offer fishing for browns over the summer. This is a Major
Rainbow fishery, browns also spawn up the Tongariro but are usually
only found early in the season. Suitable for beginner to expert.
Whanganui and Whakapapa rivers
- Both of these rivers other exceptional nymph and dry flyfishing
to good sized brown and rainbow trout, best time to fish is from
October to June.
Puniu river - Holds good
sized rainbows and browns. Over farmland there is good access to
alot of fishable water. Dry fly and nymph fishing.
Mangatutu stream - Low
banks allow good access and casting room. A shingle base and very
clear water. easy to spook fish but great dry fly and nymph fishing.
Mohaka River - A great
brown trout fishery. Nymph and dry fly to sited trout.
Waipunga river - This
is a small river, Holds good oportunities for those wanting to site
fish over the summer in the upper reaches, Cicada patterns work
well on hot summer days. suitable only for experienced anglers with
good casting ability.
Lake Whakamaru - Fish
by boat around the weed beds for lively rainbows and large browns.
Best fishing November through March. Great place for a beginner
to learn and great fun for those who want to catch a lot of fish.
Can be fished by nymph, streamer and most summer days with the dry
fly.
Lake Otamangakau - Fish
this remarkable lake. Fish boat or shore. Very large fish in excess
of 10Lbs are caught each year. Both rainbow and Brown Trout are
present, best fishing is January through March.
Coromandel/Kaimai Region
- There are many beautifully scenic streams and rivers throughout
the Coromandel ranges that hold both rainbow and brown trout, these
are particularly good for dry fly and nymph fishing in the summer.
Best fishing from October 1st through march 31st. The rivers that
I take trips to are the Waitawheta river and Ohinemuri river,
These are set in very nice scenary and are suitable for experienced
and beginner anglers.
