Apparently introduced to many North island waterways where it just won't take? I also think fly fisherman a a tiny part of the problem, kayakers, rafters, jetboats, birds all being a more likely culprit, especially kayaks, there is usually residual pooling of water in kayaks between waterway transfers. Didymo is horrible stuff, I hate fishing infested rivers, but in reality has not proved the end of the world in the waterways infested I have fished, the Mararoa however is just disgusting! It has certainly helped with the demise of the once mighty Buller as well... but fish are still present and more inclined to feed off the top we have found in heavily infested waterways. Felt soles offer so much more grip, I do miss them! |
