This table
details Fish & Game access points to the Kai Iwi Lakes. These
will soon be shown on the Kai Iwi Lakes access map.
| |
LAKE WAIKERE |
| 1 |
Ski Club Cove
Good prospects in wadeable bay, fishing
drop-off over and amongst reed stands. Sinking line with slow
retrieve using bully imitations works well. |
| 2 |
Deep Water Point
This point extends into Waikere's deepest
water. Good shore-based fishing with fast sinking lines. Rainbows
of 12 months of age taken at 2.2kg. |

LAKE TAHAROA
|
| 3 |
Sin Bin
Western area of the largest of the Kai
Iwi Lakes. A favourite area to wade and fish to sighted fish.
Fish are consistently taken in this area. |
| 4 |
Promenade Point
Promenade Point is a sand-based peninsula
which reaches out to deep water drop-offs. An excellent place
for casting and wading with fish taken as they cruise the
edges searching for Koura. Fast sinkers with crayfish imitations
work well. |
| 5 |
Western Bight
Shallow bay with wadeable drop-off. A deeper
hole exists closer to shore where good fish can be taken at
times. Easily accessed from camp ground car park. |
| 6 |
Boat Ramp
Directly out from Boat Ramp is a good ledge
to fish, with cruising trout regularly taken. Wading to the
edge can be difficult when the lake is above normal levels.
|
| 7 |
Stumps
Good area to fish, with a wadeable drop-off
within reach. Fish are quite often encountered swimming around
behind anglers in the shallows whilst fishing deep. |
| 8 |
Camp Ground Road
The public road stops at this point but
a foot track allows access around the entire lake. Good fishing
can be had around drops with shallow areas having rushes where
the occasional fish can be seen cruising. |
