Right now is a great time to be on the Tongariro river. The flows are great, and there are plenty of spawning fish to be caught. One thing everyone should learn for this river is the TRC (Tongariro roll cast). Not only does it reduce the amount of times you have to pull hooks out of your ears. It also opens up under fished sections of river, where back casting is not possible. It is by far the best thing you can do to improve your enjoyment and angling success on the river in my opinion. #tongarirorollcast #tongariro #taupo #cast (angler: Herb Spannagl)
