The Ahuriri River is a fishery of national importance with trophy trout providing sport for the experienced angler in the pristine upper reaches. Much of the upper portion of the river is in the Ahuriri Conservation Park, and it's a well-regarded fly fishing river, containing both brown and rainbow trout. The WCO passed in 1990 recognises the river and its tributaries as an area of outstanding wildlife habitat and fisheries.

One of the most scenic high country trout spots in the South Island, this river is also one of the most productive. An almost unbeatable fishing spot in Otago, Ahuriri River is internationally famous for its brown and rainbow trout. This river is great for spin fishing and fly fishing.
