There are too many trout in Taupo. DOC encourages the taking of trout for that reason. In the streams from taupo to turangi you hear stories of fishermen saying exactly that... caught 30 fish ,all slabs.

as any one on here actually had success with koi carp as bait we tried it of Cape Karikari Kaitaia both berley and bait - this in an area that with a skipjack bait and berley or pilchards would have produced snapper but the koi-- bloody useless
