Hi, just a quick report on the Tongariro over the weekend, Friday the river was at about 30 to 33cmps and fished realy well. The water was that perfect deep emerald green colour that always fishes well. Between two of us we landed 26 good Rainbows (3 to 5lb) and one small Brown.
Saturday the river was at about 40cmps in the morning and a little bit more colour to it but we still managed about 10 good fish before the river got realy dirty in the afternoon. The river got up to 220cmps overnight so Sunday was a wash out!
The runs have certainly started and we caught fish in every pool we fished, it doesn't get much better than that.
All the best.
Mike.
