    Above the Hawea outlet ie lake side of the dam can be very productive for land locked quniet salmon at certain times of the year.

    From memory about now when they build up there trying to do their spawning run.

    Also excellant fishing in the Makarora during may (when most other rivers have closed for the season) It is full of fish on their spawning run up from lake Wanaka.
    @Haggie Nice fish but it looks more like a brown in that photo

    Yea I have heard that they hang out by the intake pipe and have hooked up there. Keen to get into the salmon more but have alot more luck with the trout.

    Hmmm hard to see because I had cut its head off already in the picture and its on bit of an angle but had a streak of pink on its cheek and along the body and was quite green on the top. Are hybrids are a thing?

    Hybrids are a thing but that's 95% sure a brown. Bows just don't get spots like that.
    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
