Two days back I shot down the Ohau Rd to recce the lower section of the Twizel river, in an effort to get downstream of a few good spring fed creeks where I hoped to combat the rapidly dropping levels further upstream.
bad news though, the 400m upstream of the lower ford is racked with Didymo, and din't seem to hold many fish. in the hour and a half I spent looking and blind casting, I only saw one fish, albeit a good sized one. hopefully a decent flood event will flush the dreaded rock-snot out.
