Taupo-Tongariro | 1 Day
The Lake Taupo Fishery offers a diverse range of opportunities in a wilderness of iconic kiwi surroundings. The famous Tongariro River, the smaller Lake Taupo tributary streams, and the high country lakes of the Tongariro National Park are all easily accessible by day trips with Riverstone Fly Fishing Guides from either Taupo or Turangi. Nymph, dry fly sight fishing, and streamer fishing all work well during the different fishing seasons. Check out our fly fishing reports for some understanding of where we go and what to expect.

BACKCOUNTRY River | 1 Day
There is some backcountry wilderness water accessible by day or multi-day trips from either Taupo or Turangi. By traveling to adjacent regions over a long day trip with Riverstone Fly Fishing Guides you experience the beauty of remote rural and reserved lands. While most of this water is drive-in access to get the best from the day, a reasonable level of fitness and mobility is required – though we are able to tailor the experience to each individual’s capability. Some of the best backcountry water is very remote and more suitable for multi-day itineraries or Heli fishing.

Te Āti Awa
I began my trout fishing as a 10-year-old early morning harling on Lake Rotorua and then in my teens I got the fly fishing bug. During the past 35-years I have fished all over NZ, but I now focus on the Central North Island – the Taupo-Turangi region, south Waikato, King Country, Hawkes Bay, Rotorua Lakes, Te Urewera and the Kaimanawas. I have a passion for exploring new waters and solitude, so increasingly I am seeking to always go that little bit further than the last angler with clients taking multiple days to explore the best fly fishing our country offers.
