The Manawatu river is running high and dirty at the moment so i would think the Pohangina will be also, i have seen a fisherman who walked up from the bridge but that is in more favorable summer conditions. So i wouldnt bother myself but i hate wet cold feet at the best of times!! and probably more than just wet feet.!!
If you are rearly keen on the mid Po hut track you could drop down from the track off Takapari rd but you still got to cross the river at the bottom and think ya need 4wd to get up Takapari rd. And yeah the access has been closed due to dickheads going up there doing all sorts of shit, very dissappionting. cheers
