Is This A Good Spot To Fish?
« on: October 20, 2009, 09:34:48 PM »
For those that have not visited Tamihi Rapids.

Also large chinook salmon and other salmon spawning in a small spawning channel. Maybe we should have not got so close to try to film them. :-[

I fished the upper river when I arrived late morning. It seemed 90% of the vehicles were parked at 2 spots  ;D

And you should have seen the coho they had too. All I could muster was one coho jack in the spot Rhino and I fished but we had lots of bites and it was enjoyable having the run to ourselves. With that many coho going through I thought we would have got at least one adult but the peace we had is worth more than having to endure what you saw above just to catch a fish. :o

The good thing about all the people crowding one spot is that it leaves the rest of the river to me. :D

Thats the only good thing about it but I was glad to see very little garbage left there too.

fishing is supposed to be relaxing not a god damn gong show. id rather catch nothing all day and fish with myself or a buddy, rather than catch a ton of fish and and deal with all the illegal fishing tactics

This is really not bad at all at tamahi when water is high Coho is running, I seen people are 3 deep 20 years ago. sad at least did not see people take snag fish out of it then, may be they do now, i have not look at the show for a long time.
