Buy a Taupo fishing licence online

Introduction

Fishing licences for the 2018-19 season are on sale from 25 June 2018 and valid from 1 July 2018.

Before you buy a licence

  • Check you will be fishing in the Lake Taupo district (Lake Taupo and the tributaries flowing into Lake Taupo) – no refunds are possible if you buy a licence you don't need. These fishing licences do not cover Fish & Game regions – for information about fishing elsewhere in New Zealand, see Fish & Game New Zealand.
  • Know the rules and regulations for fishing around Lake Taupo.
  • Make sure your postal address is correct if you're buying a season licence, and that mail can be delivered there, otherwise you won't receive your licence.
  • For ramp permits for Lake Taupo see Department of Internal Affairs.
