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.
