Quoted from ‘South Island Trout Fishing Guide’ by John Kent
“The fly angler should head for the upper reaches of the Ahaura River where there is excellent water holding good-sized fish, especially well above the Haupiri confluence and running through Waikiti Downs. The river is still quite large and shingly in this area, but fish stocks are good and fish can be spotted in bright low water conditions. Above the Haupiri confluence the water is clear.”
