Tuesday 11th September 2018

Fine and sunny with another food frost to start the day. No wind as of 9:00am. The Tongariro is clear and fishable.

Reports over the last few days have indicated a bit of a slow down for anglers. This is due to the brighter sunny days and clearer water. Start looking at using natural nymphs now as we are not far away from Mayflies starting to hatch. Try your glo bugs first but if that doesn’t work then change. The nymphers may pick up the more darker types of fish which will be looking at feeding to regain some condition whereas the wetliners will possibly pick up the better conditioned fish. First or last light might make it easier for some.

(Below) A little bit of delayed coverage thanks to local fishing guide Bill Grace. Bill caught these fish jigging on Sunday at the Southern end of Lake Taupo. He says the jigging has been quite good recently with fish smelting. If you want to head out for a fish on Lake Taupo with Bill Grace then give him a call on 027 620 7326 or (07) 386 6614.
