Oakura River

I'm going camping next week at Oakura Camp ground and was thinking of taking the fly rod and checking out the Oakura River. Has anyone got any info on it? Fly types to use? Good spots from the road etc? Any help appreciated.

Thanks

PM @falconhell and @geezejonesy that is if that is the Naki RIVER:thumbsup:

i remember as a young school kid we had camped at the camp ground near the river mouth
not sure of its fly fishing potential
sorry cant help them coastal folk round there are sure a strange lot maybe they can help out:thumbsup:

Never fished there but its got a Daily bag limit of 2. so must have something in it..

Stony River is 15 minutes further round the coast. spinner and fly fishing only, limit of 1 brown max and total 2 trout max. Stony River fishing-The Stony River trout fishing-nzfishing

sorry dont no any thing about that river

Thanks Guys. I will get a license and just wing it I think. Oakura River is north of Stony River and south of Whaiwhakaiho River in New Plymouth. Looks ok on google maps. Might give Stony River a go too.

Any ideas what Flies are working in the region? Cicadas and bugs/beetles work?

Cicadas and brown beetles are out give it a bash. Good luck.

Stoney is real nice. Smallish and rocky. It is considered as one of the must fish rivers in NZ.

I like the sound of that. Thanks James.
