Fishing on the Hutt River - Jessica Dewsnap
The Hutt River is an excellent trout fishery, and easily reached via the Hutt River Trail or service roads. Popular spots include the section from Silverstream to Moonshine bridge and Melling to Kennedy Good bridge.
Salt water fishing is popular on and downstream of the Hutt Estuary bridge.
You must have a fishing licence. These are available from sporting goods stores or from Fish and Game New Zealand.
