The Manganuioteao River is a highly rated scenic river which supports a nationally significant fishery for brown and rainbow trout. The Manganuioteao River boasts high water quality (from snow melt and glacial runoff), plentiful insect life, good cover from large boulders overhanging bush, deep pools and papa ledges. The sequence of pools, runs and rapids gives anglers a wide diversity of fishable water to choose from.Pools are productive early in the season, while the rapids and runs fish best during the summer months.




COMPETITION FORMAT: Standard river comp - 2 hour sessions with competitor controlled format so please enter in pairs and put the name of the other angler in the controller area. It is run in the Czech format ie. one fish landed (ie suspended in a net) is one point. Anglers have the option of measuring their two longest fish with total length combining to be counted when scoring.
