Lake Aniwhenua, a small shallow hydro lake on the Rangitaiki River, consistently provides top-quality fishing for a good population of fish. At one time it was a premier trophy fishery but now has a good population of hard fighting trout up 2 kg. It is a great lake to fish.
Recommended lures:
Nymphs:
Hare and Copper and Pheasant Tail patterns with enough weight to get them near the bottom of the lake generally work well. Sizes 12 to 14 best as are nymphs when tied in darker colours.
Dry flies:
Sedge patterns work well in summer and beetle patterns can be effective on the western shore and early summer and cicada patterns from late summer.
Wet flies:
During the day try green Woolly Buggers, Red Setter, Mrs Simpson, Hamill's Killer or Muddler Minnows. If fishing the evenings, use dark patterns such as Craig's Night-time or Scotch Poacher. At night lumo flies such as Black Marabou Lumo can also be very effective.
Bag limit 2 trout
