Most rivers in the park contain trout: some have both brown and rainbow trout (Rangitikei, Mohaka and Ngaruroro), while others have only rainbow (Waipakihi).

You must have a Taupo Trout Fishery licence to fish the rivers forming the Lake Taupo watershed.

The remainder of the forest park is covered by Fish & Game New Zealand licences.
