Poronui
World-Class Big Game Hunting and Trophy Trout Fishing on New Zealand’s North Island
New Zealand has trophy red stag; sika, sambar, rusa, and fallow deer; and chamois, tahr, and wapiti (elk) all for the taking. The red stag are arguably the largest on the planet, with many in the SCI 350-400 class. Hunting in New Zealand is a top-notch experience, with excellent accommodations, first-rate service, and some of the friendliest people anywhere.
Poronui is a premier property and lodge nestled in the secluded Taharua Valley, southeast of Taupo on New Zealand’s spectacular North Island. It has evolved from a rustic wilderness camp into one of the world’s finest sporting facilities. The property is a wonderful outdoor playground and offers excellent game estate and exceptional free range hunting opportunities for a wide range of species.
Due to the superb natural habitat, the hunting is challenging yet achievable for all ages and physical ability. The range of species allows for exciting trophy hunting opportunities year-round. The mosaic of undulating grasslands, native beech forest, exotic pine and eucalyptus plantations, and shrub lands creates an ideal habitat and cover for deer.
Wonderful outdoor playground with excellent hunting and fishing opportunities
Combine your hunting with world-class trout fishing! The best and most exciting time to hunt red deer is during “the roar,” which is from mid to late March well into April. The great news is that there is outstanding angling during that time period.
Since the introduction of trout into New Zealand in the late 1800s, the country has emerged as a favorite angling destination. Fishermen from all over recognize New Zealand as the world’s best wild trophy trout fishery. The majority of the rivers on both the North and South islands are known for their clarity, and their reputation draws travelers from far and wide in search of giant trout.
A trout fishery that requires more technical skills than most, New Zealand is not known for the quantity or ease of catching found in other trout waters. But to the fly fishing purist, it is heaven on earth. A good day on a New Zealand stream may yield only six trout, but they will be gorgeous and healthy, averaging from 3 to 8 pounds, and caught under the most spectacular conditions. Stalking trophy wild browns and rainbows while casting dry flies and nymphs in water as clear as the air is challenging, absorbing, and addictive—it’s a style unique to New Zealand.
Poronui has an excellent fishing program, or we can show you many other fisheries in the country with incredible lodges, expert guiding, fine cuisine, and excellent value!
