... and replaced it with winter :blink:

I took off Thursday night to beat the crowds, I caught up to a southerly that hadn't quite finished its business yet

Cheers mate, I'll be doing a full RR with access details over the next day or two and will post up here. There is an access code to get up to one of the passes, no cost, you just have to ring ahead to get permission

Hi there JMJ

Many of the High Country lakes vary considerably in makeup regarding inlets and outlets dictating how fish move about for spawning and hold residency. Most of the High Country lakes (especially the landlocked ones) had fish introduced many years ago (some as early as the late 1890's) with fish populations being self sustaining in most. Increased angling pressure, better access to remote places and water degradation is having an impact on fish numbers hence why you will see me release most of my fish, however the odd (unlucky) fish makes its way to my table... smoked fish you say? You bet, delicious :yes:

Appreciate the kind words mate :innocent: there's just too many awesome places to explore in NZ not to get out there and do it!
