The lower Central North Island has a number of excellent rivers including the large and well known Rangatikei River. Generally this region tends to be lowland type rivers and streams running through farm land providing excellent brown trout fishing and dry fly opportunities.
The Wairarapa region fishery is dominated by a major river system, the Raumahunga River and a number of sensational wilderness headwater rivers emanating from the Taurarua mountains. Northern Wairarapa has a number of lowland streams that are renowned for their dry fly fishing.
The Taranaki region situated on the central west coast of New Zealand's north island offers excellent fly fishing for trout. This region has more than forty small to medium size streams and rivers that originate from the beautiful Egmont national park. The Taranaki region offers a largely unpressured fishery and an uncrowded back country angling experience.
