would the trout be up as far as upper Makaroro Hut?

That could be another option to head up Makaroro to Barlow Hut fishing and hunting up the river, overnight Barlow then head up to Colenso spur along the tops to Sparrowhawk bivy, down Sparrowhawk track with a side trip to Gold Creek Hut up via Gold creek. Will be the dog and myself rod and rifle, fly camping probably. If I have time and fitness could drop down into Maropea Forks

Just have to check access to the track ends with the dog as I think you cross farm land for both sparrowhawk and sentry box
