Ngongotaha Trout Hatchery

 

Children aged 6-14 years can learn to fly fish and catch a rainbow trout  on specified days between July and November at  the Ngongotaha Hatchery in Rotorua. This is a fun opportunity for kids, run by the Rotorua Anglers Association, sponsored by Rainbow Springs Rotorua with tackle by Kilwell, that enables you to take a child fishing with a 100% chance they will land a fish.
