Lake fishing in New Zealand can offer you the chance to catch a trophy fish, and while there are many lakes to choose from Lake Otamangankau is a true world class trophy lake, the Otamangankau Wetlands Conservation Area was formed in the 1960s as part of a major hydro system and has an enviable reputation for spectacular trophy fish often into double figures.
Fishing Lake "O' or "The Big O' as it is known by locals, and is often described as difficult to fish, this is mainly due to the ever changing terrestrials on which these monsters feed. Lake Otamangankau has an open season from the 1st of October to the 30th of May. Ken Drummond has become one of the few professional guides who have truly mastered the secrets of this very special lake and its even more unusual inhabitants who cruise the banks and weed beds leaving big wakes in their paths. This is not fishing for this faint hearted as the fish in Lake "O” take no prisoners.
