Mum got one today and dad got one yesterday. They recon the season is not gonna be much good this year, only had 2 each so far since 1 jan
Heard the same. Still heading up the Rangi near the end of feb for a fish (probably a waste of time as I have yet to catch a salmon in the upper rangi) and to shoot some yummy thar meat for the freezer.Quote:

Mum and dad chase the whitebait at the Rakaia mouth from August to Seasons end before packing up and moving the Caravan from the mouth to the gorge till the season finishes. They are at the gorge now.....................
I took this photo on the Waitaki 5 years ago, I have not been Salmon fishing with dad (and mum) since :(

I've never caught any because I'm not a fisherman but just wanted to say that they're a damn fine eating fish. Mmm mm mmm!
Mum got another one and my brother got 2 today, above the main road bridge.
She did but not a river run salmonQuote:
