Some of the world's best trout fishing can be found in the Taupo District. Licences are required to fish and can be obtained from the Department of Conservation, the tourist information offices or various fishing and retail outlets.
Driving round the lakes and over the bridges crossing the streams and rivers that flow into and out of the lake, you will see fisherpeople everwhere.
If you want to fish in the lake itself, there are a number of charter boats that can assist. Go Here

We enjoyed our tour of the Prawn farm, but to be honest, the tour is a little pricy at $15, given that you only get one complementary prawn at the end of the tour. I did enjoy the tour, but I was tempted to put it in the tourist trap section.
This facility was set up some years ago using prawns imported from Malaysia, and they are bred there with most of them being eaten at the adjacent restaurant.

This is an interesting place to learn about the volatile central North Island area, and its history of eruptions and earthquakes. There's not a lot to it, but it's still interesting. Worth a look for 40 minutes or so.

Take a trip to Mt Ruapahu and enjoy the ski fields, they are great.
You can visit the Chateau here at the same time.
The Skifield is called Whakapapa.
