New licence required on Sunday – for those who may have missed earlier notices, the new Taupo fishing season starts on Sunday 1 July, so everyone fishing in the region will require a new licence.The first round of printed ‘credit card style’ licences have already been posted out, but many anglers will only have a digital version, which will have been emailed to them on completion of the online service.
Anglers should ensure they have downloaded this pdf licence on their smartphone before fishing… this is an acceptable method of presenting a licence to a Fishery Ranger.
Please don’t just rely on accessing your email as reception can be patchy on many rivers. Downloading the temporary licence ensures you have it available when required.

A wealth of Taupō trout fishery information is now available to all – the entire back catalogue of Target Taupō magazine has been digitised and uploaded to the Taupō trout fishery section of the DOC website.

Anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of the biology of the fishery and how trout behave in this premium environment, should make use of this excellent resource.

Those interested on the history of the fishery will also find it valuable. First published in 1989, Target Taupō provided information about the management of the Taupō trout fishery and included a diverse range of articles. The last edition of Target Taupō was published in October 2015.

TRM did have all these old copies but they are so good that many have gone missing so we have to refer keen anglers to DOC’s schedule.
