Trout were introduced into New Zealand from the US and the UK in the late 1800s. You can only catch them with a licence and they are not commercially available as it is illegal to buy or sell them, so you can only eat them by going fishing. We both caught one, about 2.5 lb each, on a Taupo boat trip, one of which was smoked by our host and shared with the other lodge guests.




Impressed – your fishing skills have obviously improved since Turkey!
