HummingBird Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Here're the directions I was given: "The swamp is at Tokaanu at the very south end on Lake Taupo. You can't miss it really as the road runs right alongside it. There is a big real estate for sale sign there. Follow highway 41 from Turangi. If you get to the Waihi turnoff you have gone a hundred meters or so too far. There are heaps of blackberry bushes around it. I find the best way to catch them is to use a minnow trap (or bait catcher) and attach it to a long rope. That way you can simply chuck it in from afar and go off to have a coffee while they catch themselves." and a nice little map that I took a screenshot of: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim r Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 If you download Tumonz live you will get a very good map of the area and you can zoom in /out which gives you more of a feel for the area.Be very careful as this "swamp is thermal and possibly challenging" make sure you take a friend.

HummingBird Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 No worries - let me know how it goes. I'd like to go down sometime and try and catch a few, I'd need to set up a new tank for that of course...oh how tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
