Hurunui River Salmon Fishing
Hurunui Rivermouth
Above: View of the Hurunui River mouth looking south from the cliff-tops. There is a modest camping ground further around to the right of this picture. Access to the long shingle spit is difficult from any direction.
Return to Hurunui River
Hurunui Rivermouth
Above: This second view of the mouth of the Hurunui River was taken on the same day. Note how one angler, who has arrived from the south on the red motorbike, is fishing the gut in the green waders. The second angler has just crossed the lagoon in his dinghy. Like most of the big South Island east coast salmon rivers access is hard work on foot if you want to fish right at the mouth.
