Tongariro rivers. Numerous fresh fish have been caught using predominantly natural patterns of fly such as hare and copper, claret nymph, cadillac pheasant tail and the green caddis. With the rain we are getting at the moment expect another run of fish. There has been some good fishing at the river mouths indicating that there are reasonable numbers of fish ready to run with the weather change. A decent flush of water through the rivers won't do us any harm at all going into the winter. Out on the Great Lake the fishing continues to be very good. A lot of fish are still being caught jigging throughout the day. Target depth jigging is 25 metres. Nothing much has changed with regard fly patterns, the combination of ginger mick, grey ghost and olive wooly bugger has still been a good producer of fish. Harling for the first couple of hours of the day has been good. Best flies for harling have been the red body green orbit, ginger mick and jack spratt. Trolling has been OK through the day but better in the early morning. Target a depth of 40 metres. Best lures are spotty gold, hot orange and the black toby. Just a reminder to anglers wishing to fish Lakes Otamagakau and Kurutau this weekend, it is duck shooting season and there will be duck hunters shooting around the Lake so you will need to factor this into your consideration fishing these Lakes at this time of the year.
