saw 2 at macintoshs, 1 where i fish. the other was with a person on a kayak, playing the fish, went to net it got it in the net and capsised. came up still holding on to fish on his rod. we sent a boat to assist, first thing they did was net the fish, got him back up, said he only lost his backup rod. when he came over to us he was given a mintie. would be great on video, don’t if his camera recorded it hope it was waterproof.

18/02/2013 at 12:22 am #22932yellowfinParticipantNew to this forum, ex Timaruvian salmon fisher now living in Nelson, was planning on heading over to Wairau River, does anybody know whether any salmon have been caught/sighted as yet, understand that they’re usually in the river sometime Feb/Mar? Also, where’s the best place to head, is it down the mouth or somewhere above the bridge where diversion and river meet, any thoughts a help. Cheers.

19/02/2013 at 4:50 am #22936yellowfinParticipantVery slow at the mouth..2 fish a day sort of deal..maybe 5-6 on a good day amongst 50 anglers.
19/02/2013 at 8:12 am #22937burkefishParticipantmacintoshs is slow as well, there are plenty of fish splashing around just not taking which is about the ‘norm’ this time in the season. know of 2 today, 1 in the morning and a 22lb fish about 5.30pm. i left about an hour later so don’t know after that. will be there first thing in the morning, the predicted sw change just might cool the water to bring on a take or two.
19/02/2013 at 8:17 pm #22938151ParticipantNothing at mak mouth this morning …
20/02/2013 at 12:25 am #22939burkefishParticipant2 at macintoshs to midday and at lest 2 dropped,1 by me had it on long enough for 2 clicks of the drag. new reel think i had the drag too loose.
20/02/2013 at 3:50 am #22940gunnercoopsParticipantany KY around the mak mouth?
21/02/2013 at 12:04 am #22946StufishParticipantMak mouth very very slow Wednesday. Not even many if any Kawhai apart from the ones the bloody big seal was eating.
21/02/2013 at 2:05 am #22947burkefishParticipant5 at macintoshs to 1.15pm. 2 on the rocks, 1 in a boat and 2 where i fish and i was lucky enough to get one just after midday.
21/02/2013 at 2:52 am #22948151ParticipantWell done on your fish… Good to see south side kaiapoi starting to fire…
Only one caught this morning down mak mouth not good with 50 odd anglers there …
Also only one last night with a good amount of anglers there …21/02/2013 at 3:23 am #22949yellowfinParticipantIt was about this time last year that the mouth started to fire, lets hope the same happens this time round!!
21/02/2013 at 4:06 am #22950burkefishParticipantusually the last week in feb to first week in march,main run starts, when fish start taking in clear water means things are starting. the fish i got was a jack, very small roe,could indicate an extended season. hope so.
21/02/2013 at 5:19 am #22952yellowfinParticipantThats good to know, was there last year and abit earlier. Hopefully when I get there next thursday there might be some around. I spent the whole 12months gettin bagged by everyone for no fish after 8 days fishing. Its time to re correct the record.
