Fishing The Tongariro With Rob Henderson From Riverstone Backpackers

Fished the Tongarrio this afternoon with my mate Rob – who runs the best pack-packers in town – for an hour or two late in the afternoon after rain delayed the start. We very quickly hooked three nice Rainbow Trout landing two of about 3 pounds. The size is still not up to normal but the condition of the fish was probably better than last year. Fished around town in the braided water in front of Tongariro Lodge.

Fished a local Taupo river today with a couple of mates. Have been up north getting the boat ready for Salt Fly over summer recently so it was great to get back into some clean water.

Conditions wern”t 100% ideal but we still manged to hook 22 trout averaging around 3 lbs so the day was pretty good in the end.

Have a fair bit of guiding scheduled over the summer and it is great to be only 4 days away from back-country opening – an eagerly antercipated date!

Should have taken some photos but was too keen to get back into the water today and catch another after not fishing for a few weeks.
