    Mangahao reservoirs

    Hi guys...looking for a camping/fishing spot with my grandson with maybe a casual hunt thrown in. Is there worthwhile fishing in the Mangahao reservoirs...especially for trawling off a kayak...Cheers...Chris

    Dont think there is anything in the dams as they get drained and filled during the day depending on power demand.Below the powerhouse should be okay.Seen good sized eels in river above top dam.Hunting is average because of pressure and dogging by locals.Nzda have got one of the dam houses as a lodge.Worth a look just for the history.Keep left on drive in as road is narrow.

    They release the water for training and comps at the canoeing place just below the power station as well as power generation so wouldn't think there would be any fish in there. Might be a few eels though. There is always quads and utes heading up to throw a bit of lead around. A fair bit of spotlighting too I think
