Sitting at just under 7 hectares in Northland's Far North District, this lake holds both trout and coarse fish for anglers willing to explore smaller waters. The fixed marginal strip provides confirmed public access, making it a legitimate option for a quick session when you're in the area. Trout fishing comes with a full-bag limit, while coarse species are restricted to two per day, so plan your approach accordingly.

New Zealand has a continental climate. On the reservoirs and ponds — Nové Mlýny, Rozkoš, Lipno, Orlík, Slapy, the Třeboň ponds — spring and early summer fish well for carp, tench and bream once the water warms. Predatory species (pike, pikeperch, perch, wels catfish, asp) are closed 1 January to 15 June on non-trout water, so the predator season really opens on 16 June and runs strong through autumn.
Open season for this water is shown above from the 2026-27 Anglers Notice. Where no specific row applies, each region's own default season/bag-limit applies instead.
