I assume you didn't get any fish today. However, a much more enjoyable situation then that at Tamihi. Gong show to say the least.

ive never fished the tamihi due to the gong show and not about to start anytime soon. there are so many spots on the river that are free from other anglers and good fishing too. it just takes a bit of exploring every year as river changes.

I didn't know you could fish rapids like that. What kind of fish hold there, and how do you fish them?

I didn't think so either till I went there a couple days ago for the first time. People were catching everything: cohos/jacks, springs, chums and whatnot. I caught my first ever coho that day in that particular area after about 4 hours or so  :D The technique for fishing that is short floating in the slower moving pools, haven't seen anyone catch anything in the rapids out in the middle.

I knew it...it's a short floater's paradise  ::)
I doubt that there would be many 'fishermen' short floating at Tamahi.

I'ts so much more enjoyable to walk 2-300 meters and have some elbow room.  then you can have a pleasant conversation with the person who you may end up fishing near. Much better than spending the day being anoyed and pissed at the idiots on either side of you who seem to have no common sense at all when it comes to sharing the river and having an enjoyable day.   Better to fish, relax and have a good day than do battle with knuckle heads.
