Fishing near Kerikeri, Northland
Kerikeri sits in the Bay of Islands district of Northland, surrounded by a network of rivers and streams draining into the Kerikeri Inlet and beyond. The Kerikeri River is the standout freshwater fishery, holding a good population of rainbow trout through its upper and middle reaches above the State Highway 10 crossing. The inlet and nearby coastal spots — Opito Bay, the end of Wharau Road, Te Puna Inlet — draw land-based and kayak anglers after snapper, kingfish, flounder, and mullet.
