tongariro river Fishing Report

was out today and it was drizzling now and then. caught a couple of small ones, around 600g each. nothing crazy but had a good time chillin by the river. used a simple bait rig with some pellets. could've been better but still loved it!

bright sunny day, the river was pretty quiet but I finally hooked into a nice 2.2kg rainbow! used a bright orange lure which really stood out. felt great to finally catch something after a few slow trips. can't wait to go again!

another day of fishing under grey skies. only managed one small trout, about 300g. was using a fly rod with a wet fly but the fish just weren't playing today. went home a little disappointed but there's always next time!

weather was nice, partly cloudy and a bit chilly. caught two decent rainbows around 1kg each. used a worm on the hook because they were being picky! also saw some other anglers land bigger ones. gotta come back for more!

sunny day at tongariro river! fished for a few hours and got lucky with 4 awesome browns, each about 1.5kg. was using my favorite green and gold spinner. water was super clear, could see them biting. just an awesome day overall.
