Lake Te Anau
Lake Te Anau sprawls at the feet of high rugged mountains. During the summer the hot dry weather encourages water skiing, swimming, fishing and kayaking on the lake. During the winter, days are crisp and clear with frosty mornings and sunny days.

New Zealand's second largest lake and regarded as one of the most beautiful in the World, Lake Te Anau is the largest body of fresh water in the South Island. Lake Te Anau covers over 300 square kilometres (186 square miles) and has 500 kilometres (311 miles) of uninhabited shoreline. Traditionally Te Anau hs been a summer holiday haven for locals from Southland who stay in holiday homes often called “Cribs”or “Baches” and enjoy the lovely climate, soft sandy beaches and lake waters. Recent residential growth in Te Anau is conservatively estimated at 7 percent per annum. At that rate, Te Anau would require 680 new dwellings by 2010.

The Fishing
Te Anau and surrounding lakes and rivers promise the best fly fishing in the world. The fishery of Lakes Te Anau and Manapouri is dominated by brown trout, however the greater catch-ability of the rainbow ensures it is taken almost as readily.

The few Atlantic salmon tend to be at the lower end of this range.The northern end of Lake Te Anau is the starting point of the Milford Track. As for Manapouri, trolling and spinning are the most popular fishing methodsFishing is very good in Lake Manapouri and extremely good in the rivers north and south of Lake Te Anau.The northern Eglinton River can be accessed from the Te Anau-Milford Sound road (Highway 94) and boasts magnificent fishing at Knobs Flat, located 62kms from Te Anau.The southern Waiau River links Lake Te Anau to Lake Manapouri.
