This bridge pool has lots of trout | Fly fishing the Tongariro River

In this episode we fly fish the famous bridge pool on the Tongariro river for rainbow trout. The pool has lots of trout and I am joined by John from Adrift fishing for a great after lunch fishing session.

    Excellent Johan, I enjoyed a stint watching a number of fisherman at the Bridge Pool (downstream of bridge) when last visiting NZ October 2019. I had never picked up a fly rod at that point and was suitably impressed with the quality and quantity of fish caught. My fly fishing experience came the next day when my wife ‘paid’ (pretty sure it was money I had earned, but what’s mine is hers, what’s hers is hers I say) for a 1/2 day guided session on the braids adjacent to the Lodge. Loved it in spite of my incompetence, hooked 4 and landed 2. Hope to return post Covid.

    Nice video of a familiar pool which almost always yields. Enjoyed your casting in what is a very tight spot. Regards.

    Hi, we have been fishing to pools below the Blue Pool with a reasonable catch each day, even managed to land half of the ones we hooked! The fish are silvery fresh run, long but not as wide as the early season trout. Just come back from the TT, what a mess, holding some big resident fish but you have to hunt for them. Stoped off at the Bridge Pool but could not stand the smell of the vehicle diesel fumes, I will leave that to you mate! Could do without the wind! Harera

    What rod is that? Not the famous V-top.
