Went for a short walk from my house an hour ago and am back again now so I guess it didn’t take too long to land a couple of 3 pound Rainbows in over 80 cumecs. Saw one other fisherman hook and land 1. The trout were recoveries and by no means fresh runs out of the lake. If we don’t get too much rain the Tongariro will be sort of fishable tomorrow at around 50 - 60 cumecs I would guess. Have been having reasonable good fishing in a few spots around the 50 cumec flow rate so fingers crossed for no rain.
