Hi Marty,

Yes, once the lakes warm up the fishing at the stream mouths gets pretty intense. The Ngongotaha Stream can be tricky to fish, very close in brush and fly eating trees, combined with lots of underwater snarls and very large hard fighting fish, well, it can be a lot of what if's! Still, there are times when I quite enjoy fishing that river. On the way there's a couple of nice spring fed streams which hold lots of small fish with a few larger ones. They are much more open for casting.
