Try fishing for brown or rainbow trout in the Waihou River. Fun for all ages.

To fish on the Waihou River, you are required to have a valid fishing permit. Fishing license’s can be bought over the counter at Te Aroha Visitor Information Centre. We are currently teaming up with Keep te Aroha Beautiful and Diprose Miller to offer free licenses to juniors aged between 12-17. You must reside within the Matamata-Piako District and come in to the visitor centre to get your free licence.
