Conditions were a little tough today after a 220 cumec fresh through the Tongariro last night most other Lake Taupo tributaries being flooded this morning. We managed to find a little space on the Hinemaia river and Tetsuya was able to bring to the shore his first New Zealand trout. From there we continued back to the Tongariro which had receded to below 70 cumecs but was still extremely cloudy and turning green from brown. Tetsuya managed another nice Rainbow Trout from the Tongariro and we spent a little time like though the Tongariro National trout centre while we waited for conditions to improve a little. There is still the odd shower outside but I am hopefull that the clarity will have improved sufficiently for some good fishing tomorrow on the Tongariro.
