To date fly fishing the Taupo rivers has been excellent, slowing this past week as rivers become lower and clearer, fishing pressure has been heavy, one might say? Therefore my advise, smaller flies, get into less fished water if you can, natural patterns, green and...

Today Feb 25th, freezing and very windy, I would think we have seen the last of the Cicada, though the fish may still take one for a few more days. Some very nice fish have been caught throughout the river the past month, along with juvenile's of course. Brown trout...

Welcome to our new year, I have been a little remiss with my updates as the Shop has been so busy. The Tongariro this past month has seen good evening hatches with some nice Brown trout up to 8lb being caught, dry fly fishing during the day has worked well also. The...

November, no significant rain this month even these past few days, slabs around but equally some very nice fish as well. Fished a day or so ago landed several ok fish, hooked another which jumped it was very nice lost it, hooked into another which felt like a large...

Looking back over the past week fishing has been good from the main road bridge down stream, the upper river has seen a mixed bag with what appears to still be fish moving quickly and in "pods". This past Saturday saw big numbers of anglers on the river possibly as...

Tongariro Fishing Report August 19th, a very strange winter on the Tongariro ? the lower river has fished very well the last couple of weeks, sadly the upper river not as good, there are fish there but harder to locate. The fish do not appear to be either heading...

Fishing report March 18th There has not been a lot to report these past few weeks, however we are now seeing/hearing that Rainbows are heading back into the Tongariro and other eastern side rivers. Good size Browns in the shallows and backwaters on the Tongariro,...

Tongariro River March 4th, Currently, fishing is proving a little challenging, there are good browns in the river, finding them is the issue. Rainbows are present but one needs to move about to find them also. Small natural patterns more successful, wet lining at...

December 11th Fishing Report The River is holding a lot of fish, in all sorts of condition ?, some recovering, some recovered, a few silver bullets in the lower reaches, they are hungry taking almost anything cast to them dry flies, nymphs, dry and dropper, look for...

Rain is still here of course, river level not to high in fact 37 cumecs, fresh fish are still coming thru, at this time of year of course there are spent fish. Southern end of the Lake is fishing well. Lake Otamanakau has produced some good fish for the hardy souls...

Fishing early last week was excellent until more rain kept the river at 50 cumecs, everyone complaining on the lack of fish Saturday, however it improved Sunday. Wet liners having the most success due to the higher water, fine weather this week should see an...
