Four Salmon - Four Rivers - New Zealand Salmon Fishing

Greg Martin's run of good luck started on the 26th of December 2007 with a 16lb salmon from the Waimakariri River. Then followed a 14lb fish from the Hurunui River on the 31st of December. The New Year started in grand fashion with an 18lb'er from the Rakaia River on the 5th of January 2008.

Greg then headed to the Rangitata River where he landed an excellent 24lb fish on the 7th of January.

Greg says his final ambition for the season is to get one on a fly rod casting a streamer. I'll bet you can do it too Greg. Four salmon from four rivers in a season is a tremendous feat for any salmon angler. Congratulations Greg! Well done!

The salmon sure are running this season. So get out there!

Salmon anglers also call these rivers: "Rangi" (Rangitata) "the Mak" or "Waimak" (Waimakariri). I guess the Hurunui and Rakaia Rivers have short enough names already!
