Lake Taupo

Lake Taupo is one of the most famous spots for trout fishing. Sometimes referred to as the 'Rainbow Capital of Universe', Lake Taupo has huge sizes of trout in it. The average catch weighs around 4 pounds and 20 pound catch is just a mundane happening. Lake Taupo is the largest lake in New Zealand with a depth of 600 feet. Situated in the center of North Island, Taupo was once the creator of a volcano. Even if you are not interested in angling, Lake Taupo is a must visit for its exceptionally clear water and pleasant surroundings.
