The harbour is well known for its stocked Chinook salmon run, while rivers such as the Taieri and the Water of Leith, along with reservoirs on the city's fringe, hold brown and rainbow trout. Coastal spots from Aramoana Mole to Shag Point and Taieri Mouth round out a fishing scene that spans spinning, fly fishing, and bottom fishing from shore or boat.
