Licences & rules

Freshwater fishing in New Zealand needs a Fish & Game licence, except in the Taupō fishing district, which has its own licence from the Department of Conservation. Sea fishing needs no licence, but size and daily limits apply. Lake Taupō and its tributaries (Tongariro, Waitahanui, Tauranga-Taupō) are in the Taupō district.
