After heavy rain, the rivers are all flooded again. This is probably one of the most consistently bad spells of weather I can remember but fortunately it has only cost one days guiding so far. The Tongariro and Tauranga-Taupo rivers are both flooded as well as everthing in between and the back-country rivers. One or two spring creeks may be OK and not sure about the Hinemaia or Waitahanui rivers. The rivers are dropping at the moment and without more rain the Tongariro would be fishable in places - to a degree - tomorrow though I suspect we may be in for a bit more rain.
