For TRM’s fishy inmates who were asking questions about the increase in the Tongariro River flow yesterday – TRM posted this during the week but they may have missed it…

Genesis announce these upcoming recreational water releases:

Poutū Intake (Access 10) on Saturday 25 May and Sunday 26 May

Rangipō Dam (Access 13 & 14) on Sunday 26 May

Please note: This release weekend includes an addition Poutū release on Sunday, as arranged with White Water NZ in recognition of the cancellations over the last year due to forecasted flood flows. This release will start once the flow from Rangipō reaches Poutū Intake, at approximately 10 am (compared with the usual Poutū release start time of 9 am).
