I would doubt it... was low and clear last night when I crossed it, but we had a massive download over night and flooding throughout the Bay, mainly in the Western bay though...

I'll make a couple of calls and ask some mates how the river looks today.

It's got a bit of colour but people are fishing it is the word... worth a crack with the default plan to drop back to the Waikato spring creeks if need be... they didn;t get any rain at all last night... or bugger all.

Not much rain, went over the stream on the way and home from work and didn;t notice an issue, but can;t recall looking either... would be safe to say, given how little rain in the last 24 hours, it should be hot to trot.

Thanks for the update Clark. Hopefully we'll get a bit of colour so the brown's can't see us coming from the carpark!!

Please excuse my ignorance, but I've never fished the Ngongotaha stream before and was wondering where you might go about getting some access. I've fished the Waiteti stream plenty up to the bridge pool but never the Ngongotaha. The last thing I want to do is accidentally piss people off by running through their property. Are these entrances ok? Also is any part of the stream wadable? 






OR


Sorry for the noob questions!

All three access's are OK and are legal - you won't piss anybody off.  Not sure about the wade able bit as its not necessary anyway.

Last time i went to the bridge pool on the Waiteti stream I was told I wasn't allowed to fish there as the neighbouring property owned the section of the stream through maori rights or something. Seemed dodgy but how the hell am i supposed to know. Anyway, they told me to fish here i'd need to pay $20, so i did. Later found out that it wasn't the case. It was public land.

Yeah its alright though. Saw one rise a couple of times and that was it. Must have lost a dozen flies to my great arch nemesis, the tree and his a**hole sidekick the gorse. How was the Family Day yesterday at the Riro? I would've given my leftie to go but unfortunately was stuck in the smokey city with 3 assignments due, one of which I'm meant to be doing now and is due tomorrow. FML.
