Good reading and got the fishing bug going again for me.
Quite hard case in places especially an encounter with a couple of maori fella up Lake Otamangakau and the description of Haast locals and their whitebait.

Werewolves need the moon, Haastafarians just need fightbait season.
Its just a fish too me but you would think it was life and death too some people.
I know people down there that are absoloute assholes during the season and pillars of the community outside it.
TBF its people from away that cause most of the drama. They rock up for a few weeks a year and think they own the place. Funny as fuck really. The local plod hates it and takes most of his ridiculous allowance of leave during October-November and lets some newby from Hoki or Greymouth deal with it
