The Ngongotaha Stream is a small river flowing over a shingle and stone bed. The water is generally clear though colours up quickly after rain. Despite it’s small size, during the winter months trout numbers are very high and anglers can often see large trout in pools and moving upstream to the spawning beds. 

At Paradise Valley Lodge there is direct access to this stream at the bottom of our property. We also have a fish filleting station on site, and trout fisher’s can request access to our garage for storage & to utilize our large chest freezer. Following local regulations is very important – please ensure you have the correct licenses: https://www.fishandgame.org.nz/freshwater-fishing-in-new-zealand/fishing-licences-and-regulations/fishing-regulations/
