    Water quality puts me right off.

    A few years ago it was really nice. Now it's mostly duck and geese shit as opposed to water.



    Do you need specific permits for the hydro lakes?
    I believe you do need a license from F&G, I never did though (I was a kid and knew no better).

    Likewise, never saw a ranger either.

    Well @Russian 22. we could do a night trip to PooPuke and fill up the freezer with snapper bait.

    Perch, tench and rudd (Auckland/Waikato only) are "game fish", so you do need F&G license to fish for them. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me as they are not stocked or managed as far as I can tell, but a lot of things don't make sense!

    Alot of Rudd in Lake Karapiro, bit of bread on a hook on a standard spinning setup and you're away. We caught dozens with the kids, not too bad pan fried.

    Sounds like a plan. I'll send a text and we can make it happen.

    Sounds like they get their money for nothing

    Every year there is the Lake Taupo catfish cull, a fun competition for spearfisherman useing traditonal spear (hawian spear I think its called) its a fun competition with lots of prizes supported by Waikato regional council. They get trailer fulls of them and one year they had a chef and a barbi cooking catfish. My son said it tasted ok. Snorkling at dusk with a torch and spear could be a fun activity with the kids as they are even close to shore. No licence needed for catching catfish by any means just not allowed to put them back
