Fishing near Wairoa, Hawke's Bay

Wairoa sits at the southern end of Hawke's Bay, where the Wairoa River meets the coast. The district is best known for its freshwater fishing — a network of rivers including the Wairoa, Mohaka, Ruakituri, Mangapōike, and Waikaretāheke, along with Lake Waikaremoana, puts anglers within reach of some of the North Island's most productive trout water. Saltwater fishing from local beaches is also a well-established part of the local scene.
