Inland rivers and lakes are considered to
be the best fishing spots. Fishing tours are uncommon, however
locals residing near the upper reaches of rivers such as Hautapu,
Rangitikei and Manawatu, are sure to point you in the right
direction.
Wairarapa’s main fishing river is the Ruamahanga, which
empties into Lake Onoke, a coastal lagoon. Brown trout, rainbow
trout and perch are abundant catches, while whitebait and
occasionally flounder can be encountered near the river’s
mouth. The beautiful Waiohine River is a remote angling spot
among locals.
Angling rivers in Wellington are not plentiful, however the
Wainuiomata River accessed from the eastern side of the
city’s harbour (near the township of Wainuiomata), yields
brown trout.
