    Sounds good @R93 I hope you get one, I have 2 mates coming with me in my boat tomorrow so I hope one of us gets one. I will let you know how I get on. Good luck and fingers crossed.

    I have a wee theory about Waitaki Salmon. They used to spawn in pretty big numbers in the side streams. I suspect over the years they moved down from the Haka and a good portion spawned lower down. You certainly used to see a heap spawning. Now the Dairy farmers have cut almost all of those backwaters off. There is only a thin marginal strip of willows. I also think the run has got later, like well after the season. I say this because I know one stable piece of forgotten backwater and come late may, it will look like a stream in Alaska.

    You could be right about them running later, they have only just started showing up over the last week or so and the weather pattern has changed so it is warmer for longer so agree they could be coming up later. Also the season used to go until the end of April but now its the end of March.
