A frustrated inmate does not believe there are any Brown Trout left in the Tongariro River, so I offered to post a few photos of some inmates’ examples that were not released over the last few years as evidence… This is for those who are losing hope… Based on the results, or lack of results, it has been hard lately. Some BIG trout can be spotted but refuse to bite. The biggest ones were always released or escaped. The river mouths have provided more action than the river. If you look closely you may discover some of the photos were taken at night. I wonder why?
