| The Waipa River is a very highly regarded river system with over 30kms of excellent and varied fishing for a large head of fish in scenic surroundings. |
| It is the largest tributary of the Waikato River, rising in the hills of the central King Country, flowing north through the townships of Otorohanga and Pirongia to enter the Waikato River at the historic town of Ngaruawhahia. |
| The section of the river is easily accessed and is a delight to fish for the high population of both rainbow and brown trout as it runs over open farmland and small stands of bush. |
