Thread: Mullet 12km up river from beach

Was out on the Rangitīkei River about halfway between tangimoana beach and bulls yesterday and found multiple big schools of what I identify to be grey mullet. They were in knee deep water feeding on algae in schools of around 10-20 in various areas throughout the river system. Has anyone had anything similar? Find this quite strange how a salt water fish is so far up the river system?…
