Tongariro River Flow: 43.1m3/sec Weather: Rain

The rain can't stop the excitement of winter fishing! A rain jacket is all you need to stay dry and comfortable while reeling in your next catch. 
The rise in the Tongariro river flow, sets the stage for an awesome day casting large streamers in the murky water, while nymphing enthusiasts can't go wrong with dark rubber legged or fluo-beaded nymphs and globug varieties. 
Step up your fish harvest and take up smoking with the Kilwell smoker and sawdust range which you can find instore and online, these are easy to use and are an essential at the bach or home. 
My plan to unwind after work yesterday was derailed when I happened to be fishing a spot holding some feisty rainbows which put their agility and acrobatics on display, I fished with a single nymph, the Gummers Caddis size 12 in pink, which certainly got the attention of the fish holding in the tea coloured water.
