Best Start To The Season in Years
Reports coming in from anglers point to fantastic fishing right throughout the region!
Most rivers and streams seem to be firing - from small Wairarapa spring creeks to the Manawatu mainstem, which has well and truly bounced back from last season.
Sport Flyfishing Manawatu held their annual competition earlier this month and organisers report "fish numbers are looking very good this year as is the condition of the trout".
Above Right: Tim Angeli kicked off his season with this spectacular brown trout from a small Wairarapa spring creek.
This reflects observations from anglers who have been out on rivers in the north of the Wellington Fish & Game catchment (Rangitikei and Hautapu) and right through to those who ventured into the lesser Hutt tributaries on opening.
The fishing is stunning, and we aren't often blessed with such good spring weather in this part of the world, so make sure you grab a licence and get into what is the best start to a fishing season we've seen for years.
