There's no doubt that the average weight of the fish is going up as the numbers dwindle, as you would expect. As of tomorrow, anything goes. Spearfishing, netting dynamite? Kai Iwi Lakes is no longer a concern of Fish & Game.

On reading the post from TrapperJohn, I drove to the Promenade Point at the main Kai Iwi lake, getting there at dawn and spent a couple of hours casting into the drop off, unfortunately, not a sign of a fish.

But a beautiful place, there were a couple of campers there, but still asleep when I left, no other fishermen.

I'm glad I got to see it when it wasn't full of screaming holidaymakers
