| | comments: No anglers were obvious this morning near the Tongariro's Highway 1 Bridge, but good looking rainbows were swimming within range.
The brown trout I saw downstream of the Bridge last weekend had swum away before Wednesday.
Conditions also seem improved for night fishing at Lake Taupo stream mouths like the Waitahanui, if wind speeds remain light, and until the increasing moonlight limits it. superfly.co.nz now has 420 patterns of trout flies tied on Kamasan, Mustad, and Tiemco hooks.
