Hautapu River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Location
The Hautapu River originates from Ngamatea Swamp in the New Zealand Army's Waiouru Training area. From here it flows south, through private farmland, and in some places following State Highway 1, for several kilometres before entering the Rangitikei River north of Taihape.
[edit] Fishing
The Hautapu is well regarded as a trout fishing stream. In the summer months it can hold relatively good sized brown trout that can be targeted by either dry-fly or nymphing techniques.
