Hi guys, I'm wanting to pick your brains about going up the Karangarua river up to Cassel flat hut. How far can you drive up the river and or how long does it take to walk to the Cassel flat hut?
Plain "B" Copland river (off Karangarua) to Architech creek hut?.
Any info about the "areas" would be great.
I may be look in going around May or June? just an option.
pm me if needed.
Thanks guys
Can't drive up the river at all, park by the road bridge and walk up river. About 4 hrs to Cassel, bloody nice walk too.
took me about 5 hours into cassel flat. huts cosy. awesome spot. few deer around the river flats and grass around the hut but theyre pretty crafty. chamios up most of the side creek spurs and your bound to see a thar up on the edge of the mountains there. getting to thems your next challenge for the day haha. saw a few blue ducks in there too which was cool. .bring good binos and a range finder and camera
I love that valley. Keeps everyone out of my way. :)

Great guys, thanks for the info. Any other stories you can tell us?

Now I am interested and may go for a walk up there myself !
Took us 3.30 into Cassel. Beautiful spot. Only spent a weekend in there. Say hi to Tom for me if he's in there; he traps the area and spends a lot of time in that hut. He's classic.

I took me a while to figure it out that James Scott dumps anyone who doesn't know any better up in the heads of that valley to hunt. If you're in the know - there are much better places to hunt.
