Fishing Overview for Rangitaiki River

One of the Bay of Plenty’s key rivers, the Rangitaiki offers estuary-edge kahawai and summer snapper action near the mouth by Thornton, while upstream reaches are known for trout in cooler months; spinning and soft-baiting around tides produce well, and small boats or kayaks can explore channels as a quieter option to Whakatane River or Ohiwa Harbour.

Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 9:36 hours of daylight.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.
