And I'm sure someone's heard about it. Doubt I'll be getting it back but a bit gutting as I decided to go collect it instead of going hunting on a mates place.

I'm sure you're experienced Stocky, but go carefully with those rivers mate. More Kiwis killed in NZ rivers than all other outdoor accidents causes combined. I've had a couple of VERY close shaves with death in rivers myself. Take care mate.
