Freshwater fishing location
Pigs Head Road marks a recorded fishing access for Kaikanui River in the Northland Fish & Game management region. Use the map to identify the access location, read the supplied approach notes and confirm the rules for the exact waterway section before travelling.
This record helps with trip planning but does not establish public access, indicate current river conditions or guarantee that fishing is open. Check signs at the location and obtain landholder permission wherever the approach crosses private property.
Directions to this fishing accessPlan the approach
Access Point 6 - 6km along Whananaki North Road is Pigs Head Road turnoff on the left. A short distance down this road is a bridge crossing the Kaikanui River. Kaikanui Road turnoff on the right just prior to the bridge crossing gives access to the Kaikanui's upper reaches which has no marginal strip, so obtaining landowner permission is imperative. The road is in close proximity to the river at various points. By wading upstream from these points anglers may fish where the river makes that possible.
