Several big rivers around Taupo.
The Waikato is the out flow river, biggest in North island.
Tongariro the largest of the inflow rivers, and very well known for trout, Marjor runs in the winter,
Tokaanu tail race, fishes very well, on the south side, of the lake, but is a bit over grown in many spots for fly fishing, got a few good fish, in there over the years,
Twenty or so other rivers flow in to Taupo, all have trout, and any inflow will have a few fish about on the lake drop off. Lake edge for cruising trout.
Cicada hatch, will be on by Feb, and this can have sum fantastic fishing on lake and rivers.
Rotoura lakes and rivers only an hour away, and the headwaters of sum great back country rivers, a half day hike, like the Mohaka, Ngaruroro, Rangitaiki etc.
