    That's a lot of good eating right there! Admittedly, I was expecting to see a picture of the meteorological phenomenon.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I'd say that's the intake to the channel at the bottom of Ohau.

    They've got the farm back in there now.

    I know exactly where that is...definitely a rainbow but there are some nice salmon to be caught from that stretch too! ;-)

    Both from around the bottom salmon farm last year, but that one looks like it was caught right by the power station.
