Yes you are right , I meant Lake Rotomahana , you used to be able to launch a boat and get across to the southern side where the scrub on the faces run up to the Onuku Maori trust farm, always plenty of sambar in there but it is shit bush and a lot of blackberry. As far as I know that land is DOC run. I used to work on the Onuku block servicing bait stations around that scrub / pasture margin, always sambar sign about. On the lake shore there was always truck loads of sign on the small beaches. Access is difficult but a bit of door knocking may gain you access.
