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.

Lake Taupo fished very good for the school holiday makers with some top condition trout taken jigging and trolling ..
