kiwiraka Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 If it was day most likely to be trout or inanga, smelt dont seem to be as active at day as inanga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Also caryl need some recommended must dos for down here.been to wither hills and the river anywhere else nice? Spend some time exploring Queen Charlotte Sounds, my favorite place in NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Picton (there's an aquarium on the waterfront) and the Sounds. Explore Queen Charlotte Drive (watch for idiot tourists in camper vans). Yealands eco winery is interesting even if you don't drink. Pelorus Bridge area. Walk the Vernon Lagoon. Rarangi and White's Bay. Not sure what your interests are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
