    Kuripapango camp

    Hey Guys,
    Thinking of getting away to kuripapango campsite for a few nights after Christmas, any recommendations? Will it be super busy? Will take fly rod in hopes of securing my first fish on dry fly. Should I throw in rifle and walk the river/check some slips?
    Cheers!

    It's a very popular campsite especially around Christmas. It's a beautiful spot. There's lots of areas to park up so you should find something. You will want to go a bit further to be hunting with any chance. Up river towards the Cameron (still probably plenty of daywalkers, fisho's etc for a long way up) or up Kuri hill and round towards the saddle.

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Thanks Man, sort of what I was thinking, will probably just enjoy the river instead and treat it as a bit of a rece

    Good idea. With the forecast weather there's every chance it will be seething with people. rifle most probably not much use with that many people around. Doesn't mean the deer are not there, just not advisable at that time of year.

    Try and grab a camping spot close, but not too close to the couple of accessways to the river. They become highways with people going for a splash. Then again if you are going after Xmas day, you will be left with only what spots are not taken.
