Options for fishing:
Wilderness Fishing:
October 1st - April 30th. The back country rivers
of the Central North Island offer unlimited opportunities
for the keen angler, whether you drive, raft, or fly for the
wily Browns of the Mohaka River, or the fighting rainbows
of the Ngaruroro River and Rangitikei River. Single or Multi-day
trips are available from Taupo.
Raft-fishing:
A wonderful tool to access stretches of water difficult to
access by foot.. We do not fish from the raft, it is a mode
of transport from pool to pool on these more remote waters.
I highly recommend either a one or two day trip, where we
camp on the riverbank. A true wilderness experience. All equipment
supplied.
Heli Fishing:
For the ultimate backcountry fishing a helicopter can take
us to a wide range of rivers diverse in the fishing and scenery
they have to offer. Imagine stalking and casting to a trophy
brown or rainbow trout that has rarely seen a dry fly.
Winter Fishing:
May 1st - September 30th. Our back country rivers close for
spawning five months of the year. The lower reaches of the
rivers and tributaries of Lake Taupo then come into their
own, offering excellent fishing as the trout run from the
lake up river; one of these being the famous Tongariro River.
The peak months are June, July & August.
