November & December offers some great spring and early summer fishing. The backcountry rivers throughout the Central Plateau have had a good winter eak, the fish are active and hungry, and haven't seen an anglers since May. Dry fly can be limited to a couple of hours in the afternoons, but good nymph fishing for the remainder of the day. On Lakes the smelt are spawning inging trout into the shallows for some exciting action along the beaches and stream mouths. The migratory runs have finished in the Lake Taupo tributaries but good fishing in backcountry areas around Taupo begins.  

January & Feuary are the warmest summer months with good dry fly fishing, with options galore around the region.

March & April, dry fly starts to slow down especially towards April but hatches will still occur in the afternoons. The rest of the day will offer some great nymph fishing, fish are in peak condition. Some of the biggest fish of the season are often caught in these months.

May Autumn fishing at its best, Migratory runs start on the Lake Taupo tributaries. There are some very big trout caught in this month. Cooler temperature now but general nice days in the high teens centigrade.

June to October winter fishing mode,  the Taupo region having very good fishing. Cool weather 10 to15�C during the day, lots of migrating trout but you will share it with plenty of other anglers.
