^ Heli-fishing from Poronui.<br />

<strong>The</strong> North Island is essentially volcanic, and the<br />

trout-bearing rivers and lakes generally run from<br />

the higher altitudes of the Central Plateau out towards<br />

the coast, or into one of the central lakes.<br />

Studded with three beautiful high mountains, Ruapehu,<br />

Ngaruahoe and Tongariro, and many deep<br />

lakes including Rotorua and Taupo, the Central<br />

North Island is steeped in Maori history and broken<br />

by fast-moving rivers. <strong>The</strong> Tongariro River is<br />

one of these, a rather challenging river that has<br />

drawn fly-fishermen since the introduction of trout<br />

over 120 years ago.
