Ah the joys of real old fashion sportfishing with the short float!

I have to laugh every time is see this crap on any river.  I find it funny that anyone can get enjoyment out of fishing like that. The laughing stops when a wild fish gets dragged across the rocks most likely  to its death,  only to be kicked back in the water because they can't  keep it.  There is not enough respect for nature in these settings,  lack of respect for fish,  the people around,  and the amount of garbage they leave behind is disgusting.  Scary thought if these beaks spread out they might end up in my spot. So stick to Tamahi the fishing is hot hot hot, the bite is on,  it's a float fishing paradise  ::)

It's been this way for over the last decade that I 've seen , only to get worse . A friend went to check it out yesterday and the COs were there hiking down the stretch checking everyones catch and licences . He said a couple wild coho were confiscated and tickets being given . Never ending  >:(

Dont you know the more people at one spot, means it must be good fishing grounds especially down raging rapids.  Lol.  You would think one of these guys would have a landing net at least.

The guy ripping on his line. Is that trying to snag the fish
Or is he stuck on the bottom. Regardless it looks weird.
