Taranaki Trips

One of the hidden gems of New Zealand trout fishing, Taranaki offers excellent sight fishing for good sized brown trout in surroundings that will make you wonder if you are in the back country.

The region has more than 40 small to medium sized trout streams that flow from their source on Mt Taranaki. There are also several lakes that offer a range of fishing opportunities. Taranaki offers brilliant nymph and dry fly fishing and with so many trout streams to choose from it is rare to see another angler.

Full day and multiday trips are also available beyond Taranaki to a selection of fantastic fisheries set in wilderness-like surroundings. These rivers have good populations of brown and rainbow trout. They offer a wide selection of great fly fishing water from deep willow-lined pools and perfect wadeable nymphing runs to tight gorge sections.
