Salmon Anglers at the Waimakariri Rivermouth, Canterbury, New Zealand - 18 March 2008
An angler attends his fish while others fish on.
A helping hand guides this salmon up the sand.
Many anglers swear by a white zed spinner. The angler who landed this salmon has landed nine fish this season at the Waimakariri River mouth. All were taken on the same "lucky" white zeddie!
This salmon might be a bit smaller but they all count!
Note how the heads of these salmon don't touch the ground. This indicates they weigh around 15 lbs.
This fish is closer to 20 pounds.
Removing the zed spinner. White or silver are the hot colours for zed spinners at present. This fish liked the silver model with small red plastic tag!
There were at least a dozen salmon caught on the morning of 18 March 2008. There is nothing like watching other anglers land a fish to boost your energy levels!
Fish On! Other anglers give the bloke a bit of room to land his fish. Easy does it. Too much pressure and the fish can escape.
