I know cawthron institute did a big historical write up including photos of thousands drying on racks with proud non pakeha famillies standing in front of them. Am wondering if this is worth a trip down to the archives and Alexander Turnball Library one afternoon.]]> Mon, 15 Nov 2004 23:15:29 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6166&PID=88039&title=fish-trivia-for-geeks#88039 <![CDATA[Fish Trivia For Geeks : I think you will find that the...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6166&PID=87855&title=fish-trivia-for-geeks#87855 Author: penguin

I think you will find that the NZ grayling was a different species to the uk one alltogether.

I think what I read might have been in relation to a Maori claim that they should be exempt from licensing, as the trout fishery depleted and replaced the grayling fishery.  There might have been a timing mismatch thou. like grayling gone before the trout here? 

Anyone know what theya re talking about here?  my memory blurry.

I do know that fish undergo the fast growth spurt of their lives just after they have been caught.

I don't know about maximum size Muppet, from the old Photo's I've seen they look around one Kilo. They are/were native to NZ but did look much like the ones in the South of England. I read they were localised here to a few rivers or maybe a few tributarys of one river, I can't remember exactly.]]> Sun, 14 Nov 2004 19:53:13 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6166&PID=87816&title=fish-trivia-for-geeks#87816 <![CDATA[Fish Trivia For Geeks : Pigs eat eels ... ]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6166&PID=87810&title=fish-trivia-for-geeks#87810 Author: smudge

How big were the NZ grayling growing too AC and were they sparse or common? Were they the same species as the british one?]]> Sun, 14 Nov 2004 19:28:50 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6166&PID=87809&title=fish-trivia-for-geeks#87809 <![CDATA[Fish Trivia For Geeks : Jo, I read somewhere that the...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6166&PID=87780&title=fish-trivia-for-geeks#87780 Author: A C

Jo,
   I read somewhere that the introduction of trout with their predatory feeding habits wiped out the localised population of NZ Graying. ]]> Sun, 14 Nov 2004 15:06:53 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6166&PID=87780&title=fish-trivia-for-geeks#87780 <![CDATA[Fish Trivia For Geeks : Matt B trout and grayling live...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6166&PID=87779&title=fish-trivia-for-geeks#87779 Author: Muppet

Matt B trout and grayling live side by side in Britain, interesting that you read that somewhere i doubt if that were true. Pike certainly could!]]> Sun, 14 Nov 2004 15:02:44 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6166&PID=87779&title=fish-trivia-for-geeks#87779 <![CDATA[Fish Trivia For Geeks : Jo, did you know that your not...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6166&PID=87168&title=fish-trivia-for-geeks#87168 Author: Peter.Sea.

I dont know we can only speculate but I feel that it was human consumption and development hammered them.]]> Wed, 10 Nov 2004 05:18:41 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6166&PID=87165&title=fish-trivia-for-geeks#87165
