A couple of very happy anglers, Neil Cunnington and Rob Vaz, with the results of a night time double hook-up.

however, you can pick them up in good numbers from November right through to May.

The numbers tend to peak in January through February, and it’s not uncommon to find anglers fishing in a t-shirt and shorts underneath their waders during this time! Have plenty of bug repellent on hand though as the mosquitos can be horrendous at times.

If you are considering giving night fishing a go, make sure you call in and see the team at Sporting Life Fishing Outfitters in Turangi. All the staff have spent a large amount of time out there doing it on the river and will be able to get you geared up and chasing the fish of a lifetime.

See you out there!
