The River
The Tongariro has always drawn them.
The Tongariro has been drawing fly fishermen from around the world for over a century. Famous for its wild rainbow and brown trout, fish that run hard and fight harder. Its gin-clear pools and swift runs demand skill and reward patience.
From the Blue Pool to the Major Jones Pool, every run on the Tongariro has a name, a story, and a legend attached to it. This is not just fishing. It is a pilgrimage.
“Possibly the most accessible world-class trout river on earth.”
