Hawke's Bay > Fishing

Hawke's Bay region

The Hawkes Bay region has a great diversity of fishing opportunities from the Tukituki to the Mohaka, while lake fishing is limited to Lake Tutira (the only substantial lake fishery in the region), the region does however have some of the North Island's best headwater fisheries and access to a variety of lowland angling. This variety and easy access for angling ensures opportunity is plentiful, increasing your chances of finding that ‘hot-spot’ or that ‘secret spot’ no one has found.

Fishing headwaters of rivers such as the Mohaka and Ngaruroro provides some spectacular experiences from the great fishing, the scenery and the wildlife that is regularly encountered in such remote areas. These areas provide not just great fishing, but a great opportunity for the family wanting to experience what the New Zealand backcountry has to offer.
