Good on you for walking out early as I have bumped into deer on the track even shooting a nice 6 point stag some years back. It's a bit of a walk into the hut but as you've seen there's some awesome country in there.

It's a shame "Stanfeild Whare" no longer exists but the river reclaimed it.

@Friwi... are you sure you saw trout in the Kaipo as there's a 50 metre waterfall some distance down river where trout could never get up past it!

I Stayed in the Tauranga/Taupo hut with family and Helisika said no trout that high up... well I saw a couple of good size trout in there between the Cascade hut and Tauranga/Taupo hut...

There's no way any trout would have swum up that waterfall. Somebody must have transferred a few up there. Or maybe some shags have been doing a bit of catch and release.

The trout was where I m marked the spot on the picture

Yer the camp site along the ridge is on my list for when it warms up a bit.

The guy ahead of me on the track reckons he saw 4 on the way in and there was plenty of sign on the climb up on the way in.
