"This practical ready-reference handbook provides up-to-date [at the time of publication] information on trout fishing in the North Island of New Zealand. It is directed towards both local anglers and the increasing numbers of overseas enthusiasts attracted by New Zealand's unsurpassed fishing opportunities. The world-famous Taupo and Rotorua area are described in detail. So are many lesser-known, more remote but equally rewarding back country waters. In fact, more than 300 streams and 60 lakes are considered in this useful guidebook. John Kent, author of the successful companion volume, the South Island Trout Fishing Guide, draws on over 40 years' trout fishing experience and a life-long enthusiasm for New Zealand's back country and high country fishing areas to provide an unparalleled guide for local and visiting angler alike."
