The wealth of attractions at Temuka draw many holidaymakers to this small town throughout the year. Anglers come from all over to test the reputation of the Rangitata, Opihi and Waitaki rivers as excellent fishing rivers. The salmon here are outstanding, and their spawning run goes from November to April. The trout fishing is just as good, and there is no lacking of fish in the waterways.
And when you get tired of the fishng, you can go swimming or kayaking on the river, or even have a picnic on the river bank. Away from the river, there are mountain biking opportunities, bushwalks and hiking. This town, 19km north of
Timaru, functions as a service town to the surrounding farmland, but it's main industry is the creation of ceramics from local clay.
