About Lake Pupuke
Tucked into Auckland, New Zealand, Lake Pupuke is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Lake Pupuke should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques
- For Australasian snapper
Use berley (chum) to attract snapper to your fishing spot and hold them there, increasing your chances of a successful catch.
- For Rainbow trout
Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.
- For European perch
Vary your retrieve speed and lure depth until you find what the perch are responding to on that day, and use light line.
