From below hukarere station and all through it.

Word of advice.

Don't, don't even bother.
Paradise ducks galore. Fish in places that get spooked by the parries which follow you for km after km landing in every single pool or likely spot to hold fish.

Fish are extremely finicky, have had some pressure by the looks and are super super spooky. Only managed to hook 1. And then like the twit I was I put a touch much pressure on and snapped the knot.

Take heaps of flies, be prepared for heaps of shitty wind that changes constantly due to high gullies funneling it in . A powerful 6 or 7 weight that has heaps of power like a Scott Radian would be the type of rod to take. Big fish in places yes but very frustrating. As they say thats fishing

Take the shotty those noisey bastards do the beat up our river too,1 o 2 km from the ducklings they still hound ya.Clapping hands only works for 5 or 10 mins.
