| First of all apologies for the lack of reports but I've had some computer problems that had to be sorted out. Now that's done we can pick up where we left off last time. The Tongariro has been pretty consistent. The unsettled and very wet Spring weather has seen flows fluctuate almost daily and its been a while since they dropped below thirty cumecs.

There's still plenty of fish to be caught...and still plenty of anglers chasing them but its likely the main runs probably peaked mid August. Don't put your rods away yet though because there's a lot more fantastic fishing to come over the next couple of months particularly either side of any rain. However the numbers of fresh run fish will gradually diminish and recovering kelts will figure more often in anglers catches. Last nights torrential downpours have continued on and off this morning. And when I took Blue for a walk ear ... |
