Closing date is Sunday 19 May 2024.A free fishing licence will set you up for the new season which kicks off 1 July 2024.

Judges will be looking for photographs that reflect the various categories. In addition to the traditional trout trophy shots, we’d like to see more creative images that capture the spirit of fishing in the Taupō region - families enjoying trout fishing, anglers within the landscape or images that celebrate the brilliant colours of Taupō trout. Feel free to submit multiple photographs – up to 5 per entry.

To enter the competition simply email your photographs to fishlicence@doc.govt.nz along with your name, where the photo was taken, and the approximate date it was taken. Ideally images will be between 2MB and 5MB – small enough to email yet large enough for us to use.
