Thread: Rainbow road and molesworth

Rainbow road was absolutely stunning !! Blue bird days no wind.







Not technical in any way, just lovely driving. If you haven't done it....do it !!

Infact if you have a capable vehicle and are travelling up or down the south island i reckon its the more preferable route between Hanmer and Nelson !! I drove home via the lewis (500km round trip) no where near as cool ! Should have just gone back thru the rainbow

Certainly more direct, and definitely worth the $60 toll.

As for the fishing....

We seen what we think was a salmon (judging by the size of it) in a deep pool near hells gate. Should have taken a photo but didn't.

Had a few casts in the Sedgemere tarns. Seen about half a dozen big eels and a few trout cruising the shallows. Probably more suited to fly fishing as fairly shallow and weedy.



Lake tennyson is one hell of a spot on a nice day.



It seemed to be very well stocked with small fish so after letting plenty go we decided that we had better thin them out a bit so it was trout sandwiches from then on.



Can't recomend the trip highly enough. Epic scenery, good fishing and hardly anyone about. Seen a few cyclists, a couple of motorbikes and had to pull over for three vehicles coming towards us the entire drive !!!

Get amongst it
