Beautiful warm fine spring weather, hardly any breeze, local Taupo tributaries going down after weekend rain, wonderful conditions in such a fantastic fishery.  We cannot over-hype it enough as it is all true.  Yesterday we even explored the other rivers – full report tomorrow.

This week’s GOOD NEWS:

Last week TRM wrote to DOC…

“Any idea on who to send these photos to, or could you send them on?  
 After all Dave Cade’s good work recently trying to remove blackberry to encourage the native growth around the car park at Stag Pool this is what is happening on the access road.  
Some vandals are just helping themselves to all the Manuka for firewood – too much for just one household so they are probably selling it.”
 
DOC replied:

Thanks for raising this issue with us.  Some offenders were caught and are being dealt with through the courts,  DOC takes this type of damage to our native vegetation seriously’.

Well done DOC – 10/10.
