    I would be surprised if it was legal by definition, but if it was taken by a licenced angler I wouldn't be too fussed. It is still not what you would call cricket though.

    Definitely not a cricket, but a brown trout...

    Just got in.
    I could also sit at home sip cups of tea and watch coro st.
    But I prefer taking a few beers wandering the river each evening catching these and being an arsehole.
    3.9lb rainbow this arvo I'll drink to that

    2 fish limit up that stretch, and around the confluence of the Mangaone there are a lot of juveniles (spawning area). Upstream of there is closed 30 June. It would be better to go either up or down from there if you want to catch anything bigger. There are a lot of good fish in the rivers at present, fat and getting ready to spawn.

    How did you go? I was going to fish the Ngaruroro this arvo but figured I'd go the Tutaikuri. It was quite hard, made harder by me hooking only trees and willows. That would have been a good walk back to Puketapu.
    The water is very clear and the fish must have a bit of pressure on as they were not out of the deeper holes and backwaters and were quite easy to spook. Still some good fish seen though. All my old haunts have changed a bit since last visit with one good hole blown out altogether.

    Fished up Mangaone river.. puketiri Rd bridge?this morning saw a couple of good ones no takers only had an hr or 2..
    I got a pretty good wife so a oneway walk yesterday,....most fish caught in shallow water below rapids best was about 1/2 way near a access point hooked 5 or 6 fish. Awesome river system I was actually surprised I didn't see any other fishos at all..

    Nice pike. Terrible beer.
