This section of water, lodged between the lower waterfall and Lake Arapuni, provides a scenic spot for the winter months when other fishing places may be closed for the season.
The river is accessible by a walking track, and can be fished from a boat. Above the falls, the stream flows through a steep gorge that is very hard to access, however the fishing here is very good and well worth the adventure if you're feeling up to it.

Reviews
Keen fishermen like to enjoy their sport year-round – which is why it’s good to know the right fishing spots for the colder months. The Mangawhio Stream at the top of Lake Arapuni is well worth a visit at any time of year, but it’s particularly good in winter. Simply take the walking track from the Waipapa Dam, and you’ll discover a scenic fishing spot between the lake and lower falls.
