Thread: Ruahine Forrest Park trout fishing?

Hi all,

In the planning stage for a backcountry trip between xmas and NYs, looking for suggestions on any rivers in the Ruahines worth a visit. Was think of walking in from eastern side to Colenso hut (Mangatera river) and then down to Iron bark across to Otukota hut on the Maropea river. Then to Maropea Forks and back down via either sparrow hawke bivy or Colenso spur and then back to car.

Wondering if its worth carrying fly rod for Mangatera river and Maropea rivers?

Cheers FBD
