Na the power went out Rushy,I got a notification but didn't see your post:)
I used to live in Cambridge and my old neighbour had a NIWA contract to net elvers every morning at the base of the Karapiro Dam - first concrete stoppage on the Waikato River
Every morning at daylight for about six months he headed off to the dam - when the wall was wet they could climb up quite a way - before they fell back down
He stored them in a circulated tank for a few days then took them up river to each of the dams for release
Pretty sure it was part of the contract that MRP had with Maori to restock all of the dams on the river
He also spent time trying to net the female monsters in the dams before they migrated to the sea - poor buggars got chopped to pieces going through the turbines :(
Going to be some big eels on the news tonight...Ch 1:)
Was hunting up the Repia with my father...after breakfast he went downstream and I went upstream...mooching along quietly, I had that feeling that someone or something was watching me... I looked towards the stream and there was a monster eel with its head out of the water...it kept on following me...further on up I shot a yearling hind begging it not to fall in the water :o...those big eels give me the complete willies!!!!
L Waikaremoana is another place with giants
Couple of big ones on the wall of the Tuai working mens club too Scribe & report of a very big trout caught below the tail race there at the hydro.
