Trout Fishing Paradise

[Greg New Zealand]

I am lucky to live amongst some of the best trout fishing water in the world. I live in Rotorua, New Zealand and I post here to welcome any enquiries about this part of the world. <br />For all you guys in the States, your dollar converts to about $1.50 New Zealand dollars - great spending/buying power here. <br /><br />The rainbow (steelhead) are wild and hatchery stocked - size can be 10 pounds plus at 3 years old. Browns get even bigger but harder to catch.<br /><br />Those that saw the Lord of the Rings Trilogy will appreciate the beauty of this country.<br /><br />Want to know anything - feel free to ask.<br /><br />Greg

One of my best friends went to New Zealand and had a great time. He loved the country. Him and his wife went red deer hunting and toured the country.<br />The dollar exchange seems great .Just like Canada.<br />for every $100.00 american I get $50.00 more dollars. Nothing wrong with that.<br />If I come there I'm going to bring an extra 10 pair of blue jeans. My friend told me what they were selling for,"unbelieveable."

Fly Rod<br /><br />You are right about the jeans but not everything is more expensive. The food and produce here is unbelievably fresh and good - no grain fed beef here as the still eat grass like they are supposed to. Yes and you can eat the trout too!

Greg & Flyrod,<br />I have fished the Rotorua Lakes a lot over the years, I havn't caught my trophy yet but I sure have seen a lot on the shore that others have caught.<br />Any way I have to spend a week on Lake Taupo in July (therapy of course)<br /><br />Tight lines<br /> <br />Peter

Gerg.<br /><br />Thanks for the info.<br /><br />Every year I try to go someplace new to fish. Alaska,Montana,...............I was looking at Tuna in Mexico this year but who knows?<br /><br />If you know of some good web sites over there please post em. I would like to check it out.<br /><br />I sure do hate those long plane rides though.

Hi Homeseller<br /><br />I'll have a look for some sites for you - been a bit busy and might be a while. If you search on fishing New Zealand there should be lots of info & pics.<br /><br />Don't worry about the plane ride it's soooo worth it when you get here.<br /><br />Greg
