Tongariro Trout Fishing


On our way to Ruapehu last weekend we stopped (cos I'm one of those annoying people who if I see something when we are driving that I think is interesting I say "stop") near a bridge just before Turangi.


As we drove around Lake Taupo I saw these fishermen trout fishing all in a long line down the river.


These two in particular were the only ones who caught one while we were there, the others were throwing their lines in back and forth - no doubt they were pleased with their catch.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday :-)

Great shots, glad you stopped! I always heard trout fishing is world class in NZ.

My favourite fish. It beats salmon every time!

It's nice to watch people fish. I cannot take the boredom of fishing, sigh.

Great capture. It must be cold out there fishing (at least they have the sun).

  This has been one of the early buildings in Westport from the 1870s that is still being used for the local newspaper, so much old Victoria...
