Fishing near Kaikohe, Northland

Kaikohe sits in the Northland hill country, surrounded by a network of small rivers and streams draining in several directions. The area is freshwater country: the Punakitere River, just outside town, holds rainbow trout in its upper reaches, while the Waipapa River runs through Puketi Kauri Forest with wild trout throughout its course. Lake Ōmāpere, close to town, is a known local spot, and the Waitangi River carries a scattering of rainbows along its length.
