    Fishing the Catlins Fishing in the Catlins Surrounded by remote rainforest and rolling hill country, anglers seeking solitude and scenery will find the streams of the Catlins rewarding. With consistently high annual rainfall and plenty of valley systems, anglers following the Southern Scenic Route between Balclutha and Footrose will discover numerous waterways to explore. All of the significant streams and rivers hold good populations of resident brown trout between 1-2 kg, and in their lower reaches sea-run brown trout which can reach 3-4kg. Owaka river entering the Catlins Lake Most streams originate in rainforest or tussock swamplands (giving the water noticeable to fish) and hurl it into a likely looking hole. Some experienced local potential. Containing lots of baitfish and crabs the trout are normally in a tea stained coloration) and flow through forest and farmland before entering anglers fish with smelt and bullies which can be irresistible to large trout, especially good condition and excellent eating. Often the best fishing areas are close to a tidal zone and then the Pacific Ocean. Anglers should adjust their fishing at night or the change of light. structure such as reefs and logs and near deep holes and drop offs. During methods depending on whether they are fishing in the estuary/lower, or upper the spring and summer months, evening and night fishing and can be very reaches of a river.

  • CATLINS BUSH and BEACH 24Th Feb. – 3Rd March 2018
    CAT CATLINS BUSH AND B EACH CATLINS BUSH AND BEACH Goldfields Cavalcade to Owaka th rd 24 Feb. – 3 March 2018 Gold in the Catlins? Absolutely! Untold tonnes of gold has been washed down the Clutha River (both from it’s present day location and multi- previous routes) on the Catlins north-eastern boundary. Also the Mataura river on its west boundary used to drain the Wakatipu basin and is fed into from the Nokomai. This has resulted in the beaches of the Catlins being quite literally sprinkled in gold! Many a claim has been staked and money and infrastructure invested to acquire this treasure. However by the time the gold made it all the way to the coast from the mountains of origin and tides and currents transported it up and down the coast, only the finest of specks remain. The gold is there to be sure! But the effort put in for the quantities returned is just not sustainable. Energy put into ship building and logging initially was far more profitable. As elsewhere, farming was where the real wealth was to be gained. Today tourism is a key player also in the development and sustainability of the thriving Catlins region. You have probably been here for a look-see before? Come again on the Goldfields Cavalcade and discover some truly hidden gems! Organised by the Otago Goldfields Heritage Trust PO Box 91, Cromwell, New Zealand Cavalcade Coordinator: Terry Davis.

The Catlins, in the south-eastern corner of Te Waipounamu (the South Island) has been occupied by humans for at least a thousand years. The region is named after Captain Edward Cattlin (correct spelling), who bought land from the Käi Tahu chief Tuhawaiki in 1840, a month before the Treaty of Waitangi was signed. The “Catlins” name now refers to the whole coastline, coastal forests and farmland between the Clutha and Mataura Rivers. This area is now the largest expanse of native forest left on the east coast of the South Island. The extent and range of vegetation give it national importance for its botanical value. Unbroken sequences of vegetation stretch from the coast to sub- alpine tops. The Catlins’ remote and largely unspoilt coastline and bush provide a precious haven for wildlife. Many species of animals, insects, plants and fish found here are now rare or endangered.

    Investigating small town shrinkage in the Clutha District of New Zealand and the local response Mathew Husband A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Master of Planning at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 1 November 2017 i Abstract Throughout history population centres, of any size, have always fluctuated in prosperity, population, and production activities. Current international trends, such as globalisation and urbanisation have created megacities with ever-expanding populations and economies. In contrast, the same trends have begun to cause shrinkage in some parts of the world. Some small towns can be particularly vulnerable to international trends which can destabilise their populations and/ or economies. Multiple examples of this are found in New Zealand such as in towns within the southern district of Clutha. Towns in the Clutha District have been impacted by the rural to urban migration trends seen across the world as well as globalisation which creates large-scale manufacturing as opposed to the relatively small manufacturing offered by small towns. Shrinkage can have negative impacts on small towns and their communities which prompts the need for a response to slow, stop or mitigate the issues related to shrinkage. This research aims to understand the impacts and responses to population loss and economic instability which has taken place in small towns within the Clutha District. The case study towns of Kaitangata and Lawrence were chosen as these towns highlight the varying geographic, social, and economic identities of the Clutha District. The aim of this thesis is to find out how councils, communities, and individuals are affected by economic and demographic change and how they are responding to the impacts of shrinkage.
