Hi everyone, I got to fish the Tongariro this past weekend with mixed results. The fishing was fairly hard by Taupo standards. Between Q and I we caught 5 fish on the Friday morning and 5 fish on Saturday morning. All rainbows and none of them were very big. The largest was a nice silver fresh run hen of 45cm. The rest were around 40 to 44 cm but darker and not in great shape.
The river could do with a good flush of rain.
I did however manage to catch a good cold, hence the delayed report.
All the best.
Mike
