If you visit the souvenir shops in New Zealand you will find many advertisements in which one can read: Lake Taupo is the capital of the universal rainbow trout. And no good reason at all to that devised this type of advertising. In Lake Taupo is a natural trout found with two kilos of weight, but sometimes, some others have come to fish up to nine kilos. Therefore, much more clearly, we come today to a place far less exotic, Lake Taupo in New Zealand.

Is particularly the country’s largest lake. It measures 30 by 40 kilometers long and has a depth of up to 180 meters at some points of it. It is curious, but until a few centuries, was the crater of an ancient volcano, located near the center of the North Island, including three volcanoes that are still active in the nearby Tongariro National Park.

Both for the fishermen of the area as those who want to sunbathe on this singular space, have all kinds of boats, from old steamboats, which carried out a traditional and romantic cruise on the lake, to modern catamarans that will take you to the interior of the cold, crystal waters of the lake. Moreover, in the nearby town of Taupo, any chef will be preparing the trophy for a day of fishing. Imagine if you take nine kilos of trout …
