Tokoroa Take a Kid Fishing Competition
To be held at Lake Moana Nui November 2 to 4th.
Lake Moana Nui is stocked by Fish & Game annually and it’s a great place for kids to fish with good walkways and playground equipment next to the lake.
Kids can enter the competition at the lake on the day. You don’t have to attend all three days, the prize-giving is worth attending.
For more information contact Cath MacPherson on 07-8867059, or 027-5034486, or check out the Tokoroa Sports Fishing Club's Facebook page.
Auckland/Waikato Fish & Game would like to thank Pure Fishing NZ for kindly supporting this event.
Rotorua
Has your kid caught their first fish? Here’s your chance to give your child this thrilling experience – with help from experts.
Fish & Game’s ‘kids fish out’ days are on again.
This fun opportunity is run by the Rotorua Anglers Association who show children six to 14 years of age how to catch a fish. The fish out days are held at a special pond at Fish & Game’s Ngongotaha hatchery in Paradise Valley Road, Rotorua.
The days are so popular that pre-booking is essential!
