Salmon Angling Waimakariri River |
| Salmon caught at MacIntoshes Rocks near the mouth of the Waimakariri River. Some years the salmon are smaller. However big or small they are never easy to catch! Any day you can get one to take your lure is a "red letter" day to remember. Below: A silver zed spinner. Perhaps 90 percent of the salmon taken on the lower Waimakariri River would be taken on this brass spoon which has been electroplated. The typical weight being 28g, though some anglers prefer them heavier or lighter. Very sharp hooks are an absolute must to penetrate the hard mouth of a Chinook salmon. |
