Issue 8\u00a0–\u00a0October 2019.<\/p>\n

October marks a transition in the New Zealand freshwater fishing calendar with numerous rivers and lakes opening across the country. This takes significant angling pressure off the Taup\u014d spawning rivers, which had been the\u00a0focus for many fly-fishing fanatics\u00a0over winter.<\/p>\n

While backcountry waters are open in many areas, anglers visiting the Taup\u014d region should be mindful that \u2018winter limits\u2019 continue to apply on our major rivers until 1 December. This limitation exists to protect spawning trout – which\u00a0reach\u00a0a peak\u00a0in\u00a0spring. As a guide, the Taup\u014d Fishing District map includes details of all\u00a0fishing seasons\u00a0along with\u00a0a summary of the regulations – details can be found online><\/p>\n

We’ve been actively collecting fishery data over winter including monitoring trout passing through the Waipa spawning trap and conducting regular drift dives. As part of a new initiative this season, we’ve been providing a monthly update on data collected from the\u00a0Waipa trap – just what you need to satisfy your inner trout-nerd!<\/p>\n

Recent trends tell us\u00a0more rainbow trout now run\u00a0during spring than over winter, while angling pressure is reduced. Less anglers and more trout… sounds like a good opportunity\u00a0for a fishing trip!<\/p>\n

Lake Otamangakau open.<\/strong>
\nOctober 1st marked\u00a0the opening of the fishing season at Lake Otamangakau. The weather can be the greatest challenge facing anglers who visit this mountain location early in the season. However, when the sun comes out and the wind subsides Lake O\u2019s rugged beauty is revealed – along with some very large trout… more><\/a><\/p>\n

\"WinterWinter limits continue to protect trout.<\/strong>
\nWinter limits remain in place in the Taup\u014d region until 1 December, to protect spawning trout. This is important given the majority of Rainbows migrate up rivers to spawn in the Spring.\u00a0 A cool movie\u00a0clip taken last year using a drone,\u00a0illustrates this well… see video clip><\/a><\/p>\n
