The upper mac can yield some nice fish like this 8pound brown,taken on hare and copper nymph.
that trout looks like a sea run that has made it way upriver. I think there are some big resident fish as well though. I’ve caught trout with that silvery sea-run appearance in the hurunui north branch near lake sumner….
sorry this is supposed to be a salmon thread!
I fished the mouth between 3 and 5 this arvo, saw one fish caught. Looked like a salmon but I was too far down the line to be sure. Surely there has to be another couple of good days yet ???
