Forum hunt Nelson

Lake Rotoroa

21st?maybe and 22nd 23rd June should work out for me or otherwise would have to be end of July.

I will be taking a boat and have room for 3-4 others,Donations for fuel gratefully accepted.

Others may also be able to bring boats and there is also a water taxi.

For those that dont know the area google earth it, its the long skinny lake next to the little round one (Rotoiti)

There is two huts at the head of the lake at the mouth of each river feeding the lake, the Durvil and the Sabine. Sabine hut is big and new and il be at the Durvil.

Hunting from the lake edge(drop off and pick up from boat) is usually reasonably productive but far from high numbers.
Country is mostly fairly easy grades in nice open beach forest but of course it has its shitty bits like anywhere else.

Two large valleys head up from the lake with river flats/slips etc.

Register your intrest and any questions below.

I would be in but Given I have no gear, hills make me scared and bigger hills more scared and my only redeaming feature MIGHT be a small boat (which up till now has had an intense dislike of fresh water)
Due to wok commitments there is a less than 5% chance I might get to meet ya'll.
Supposed to be on sea-trials with a certain big red rebuild

That's a Bugger Mikee.
But you know how those sorts of things get pushed back
You won't need much if you can make it.

I lent him a bag full, Cam. I asked if he had any left for my upcoming trip and he reckoned he used them all in a week. I am surprised you can walk?

It wouldnt surprise me if the dopey shrimp boat captain used them on himself

[Dougie]

Hmm I already have a trip from the 26th....I wonder if the boss would let me have any extra time away from home? Anyone keen to do a pickup from Picton? (Probably can only afford the ferry)

[veitnamcam]
