Summary
In many New Zealand trout fisheries it is still common to fish your chosen stretch of water without seeing another angler. If you arrive at your favourite fishing possie and it
is already occupied, you simply move on to somewhere else.
However, in the Taupo fishery, things are a bit different in that there are usually many more anglers sharing the preferred fishing locations, especially on the popular rivers such as the Tongariro. In these situations, there is potential for conflict and therefore it is necessary for
anglers to collectively adopt and implement a code of practise that allows everyone a reasonable opportunity to catch trout.
The code of practice, sometimes called 'angling etiquette' is a simple set of guidelines for generally agreed good behaviour when fishing. If you implement the simple set of rules outlined in this brochure, you will not upset other anglers and enjoy your Taupo fishing experience.
