the locals in Taumarunui wont go near lake hawk....its sort of tapu as a young girl was drowned many years ago,believed to have been pulled in by the eels....the ones there look different,very large heads,Ive seen a couple in other waterways nearby the same.one of the local characters shot ducks on the lake,he said you had less than a minute to get bird off water with canoe before the eels would grab it...no way would you risk using dog on that bit of water....Ive had "something" amoungst the decoys in lake wainono,more than likely eel after the blood trail.
