At TnT, we cater to all angler skill levels, offering a comprehensive service backed by a meticulously audited Health and Safety plan.

Taranaki Fly Fishing: A Unique Experience

Located on New Zealand's North Island's central west coast, Taranaki boasts excellent trout fishing opportunities, courtesy of 40+ originating streams and rivers from Egmont National Park. Additional rivers stem from the Tongariro National Park, further enriching this angling paradise.

Our base in Oakura situates us close to New Plymouth, allowing for numerous guided day trips around Taranaki's ringplain rivers.

Dive into Taranaki's Clear Trout Waters

Picture your fishing line dipping into clear waters beneath the slumbering Mount Taranaki. Home to abundant brown and rainbow trout, these rivers offer prime sight fishing opportunities. Despite the average trout size being around 1.5kg, you may encounter some that weigh up to 4.5kg.

The Taranaki region provides a picturesque angling experience, less marred by angling pressure, making the catch less challenging. At TnT, we endorse catch and release fishing to maintain sustainable fisheries.
