Fishing near Tangiteroria, Northland

Tangiteroria sits in the Kaipara District of Northland, on the banks of the Northern Wairoa River roughly halfway between Whangārei and Dargaville. The surrounding countryside is rolling farmland threaded by the Wairoa, Mangakahia, Wairua, and Waiotama rivers — all within a few kilometres of the township. Freshwater fishing is the draw here, with eels and native species the mainstay of these lowland Northland waterways.
