I haven't lived in Hamilton for 15 years now, but back in the day I used to sometimes catch fish spinning from the shore at Days Park on River Rd and I also had some success by the Rose Gardens.

If wanting to venture 30 minutes south you could try the tail-race of the Karapiro Dam, the Little Waipa River, Pokaiwhenua Stream mouth. There should be fish in those waters.

That's about the limit of my knowledge I'm afraid.

Fish and Game have a number of brochures that give info on different waters. I would suggest giving them a call or a visit to a local tackle shop.

Apparently there's a lot of fish in the river. Spent a couple of hours this afternoon, trolling/dragging and casting from a boat. Not a bite. The lure was hitting the bottom (I could feel it). Good day out with the wife and boys though.
