i was in ROTARUA a few years back and caught some nice browns on fly but was on a boat on the lake. but i did have this booklet that you can pick up at a newsagents ove there and it gives you all the rivers to fish.
as for chemmy i suggest you borrow a 4 or 5 weight fly rod then we will see if the trout is a non fighter.once you catch one on a dry fly you will be hooked.especially a 4lb plus on 5 weight.
also if you go to england they have a lot of man made lakes and stock 20+lb trout for you to catch.
good luck daniel

Hey Morty,
You will find these days that the Taupo hatchery does not release many fish at all.
The hatchery was used alot along time ago. The Taupo district trout are all wild fish.
The hatcherys main role now is for education and is on stand-by incase it is needed.
