26th May 2018: Turangi trout fishing report
Weather: 11 degree C (day), 0 degree C (evening)
Snow fell last night on the Kaimanawa Range and Mount Tongariro Mount Ruapehu. The Tongariro river certainly is clearing slowly after the cold front hit Turangi late last week with the Tongariro river running with a slight hint of green today and should be clear in the morning. Nice trout were taken using wet fly streamer.
Cheers tight lines

Two fish taken on same day from the same pool, display the spectacular colour range of mating rainbow trout. Tongariro river and others have cleared after the weekends flood. So it should be lock stock and barrell from this point onwards as we slowing go into winter mode. Fresh rainbow and brown trout arrive up the rivers from Lake Taupo on their annual spawing run.

With no frost at all in the Turangi area we certainly have had some nice Autumn weather with sunny days and little wind Turangi's rivers the Tongariro River, Tauranga Taupo, and the Hini, are all holding fresh fish with some fantastic fresh good condition rainbow trout caught nymph fishing and wet fly. The Tongariro river is still producing some large brown trout to lucky anglers. All river and stream mouths around Lake Taupo are fishing good with trout waiting for the right conditions to make their spawing run . Lake Taupo fished very good for the school holiday makers with some top condition trout taken jigging and trolling ..
