Tongariro River Flow: 29.0 m3/sec

Weather: Overcast with light winds

Today sees plenty of fish hanging around following the bout of rain we had last weekend. Reports are coming in of some stunning condition fresh fish making their way up the rivers, with more still running at present. The extended forecast is predicting plenty more rain over the following week, so things are looking very promising. Globugs were hot off the shelf over the last week but given the rivers are mostly cleared up now it will back to tungsten beaded naturals. Flies such as the Always Borderline Siren and Banshee being among my favourites.
