You will take your Salmon and Trout primarily from the Waitaki River. The Waitaki is a major South Island river with a huge catchment area which gives its name to the North Otago region along whose northerly boundary with Waimate it flows, on its way from its source at Lake Benmore to its mouth 110 km away on the east coast. The settlement of Waitaki is on the southern side of the river mouth, 22 km north-east of Oamaru. The catchment area is one of the most valuable hydro-electric power resources in NZ

You may also take Trout from Lake Benmore (the largest man-made lake in NZ - 79 km²) and Lake Aviemore, both on the border of South Canterbury and North Otago

Salmon may be fished all year (each season licence starts October 1), seasons are divided into winter and summer. The best time to fish is from November through to the end of March

The Season for Trout runs from October to the end of April. 

A Licence is required for both these fish, please see details here
