In
a country with such a vast coastline and hundreds
of rivers and lakes,
it is little wonder that fishing is a popular pastime for New Zealanders.
Anglers come from all over the world, to try their luck in the crystal-clear
waters.
New
Zealand has the best trout fishing
in the world, from the volcanic Taupo
and Rotorua regions in the central
North Island, to the glacial-formed
lakes of west Otago and Fiordland.
Lake Taupo, alive with brown
and rainbow trout, is probably the
best freshwater fishing in New Zealand.
Sea
fishing offers almost guaranteed fish too, with strict regulations on daily
allowable catch ensuring sustainable resources. Sea fishing runs the gamut
from fishing off wharves to big game fishing in the Bay
of Islands.
