Tongariro River flow: 39.5m3/sec with knee deep visibility.
Weather: Cloud with rain throughout the day.
Rain!!!! The rain has arrived, the Tongariro River reached over 60m3/sec this morning giving it a great flush out, hopefully bringing up the fish. The water has continued to drop into the early afternoon & has started to clear up as well. The river has some nice colour in it so we suggest fishing with brightly coloured flies when nymphing or swinging streamers in the coloured water can be quite successful.
I spent the weekend fishing the Tongariro River with Alex and Tim who is from Switzerland. We had a great time nymphing through some deep pools in the upper reaches of the Tongariro and hooked into some good fish.
