After the biggest recorded flood of the Rangitatiki River I think duck shooting will bee a non event this year habitat has been destroyed ducks are sitting on ponds, time will tell from the graph the river normally runs at 0.70 - 1.0 M it peaked at 2.6 M.

I built a new maimai over summer maimai is low in profile I throw a couple nets over it to camo it it has a shooting platform at the front (one day deal) garden shed, 90 x 45 joist's, cover sheet 2400 x 1200 sheet of H3 ply for the floor, 100 x 100 bearers, then drove 50 x 50 H3 pegs each four corners then screwed these to the bearers with 75mm sq drive galv screws. I tied the whole structure down to the bearers with CT 400s truss structural fixing. The level of water came over 1/2 up the side of the cladding of the shed yet it is still standing :-)
