Day 7 - The Pohangina

How quickly the weather changes. Today was a bright beautiful day in the Manawatu area. It was clear, cold, and crisp. A fresh coating of snow could be seen on the Ruahine Range.

I worked from home this morning and headed out for a bit fishing around 11am. The Pohangina drains the Southwest end of the Ruahine range. It meets the Manawatu near the community of Ashurst. It is about a 25-30 mile drive from our inner-city home to the beautiful forest parks of the Pohangina Valley.

The fishing was pretty good with the tally reaching five rainbows today including one broad shouldered buck with a big red stripe down his side (sorry no picture).

Headed this weekend on a four-day excursion to the Taupo Lake area. Expect limited Internet access. Next posting TBD
