The Fishing Commitment: Day 2

Fished the confluence of the Manawatu and Pohangina. Beautiful evening and sunset. Got on the river at 3:30 and it was dark before 5:00. The days are short. Note the wind turbines in the background. The Te Apiti wind farm is the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. Wind turbines cover the Eastern Mountains of the Manawatu valley. Flat shot to the ocean from here. As far as the wind is concerned, not much stands between the Western Coast of NZ and Africa.

Caught one nice rainbow. Water temperature is perfect - these are hot fish!
