If a gate is open or closed leave it that way. • A farm is the owner’s livelihood and if they say no dogs, then please respect this. • When driving on riverbeds keep to marked tracks or park on the bank and walk to your fishing spot. • Never push in on a pool occupied by another angler. If you are in any doubt have a chat and work out who goes where. • However, if agreed to share the pool then always enter behind any angler already there. • Move upstream or downstream with every few casts (unless you are alone).

  • Taxon Plan for Eastern Brown Kiwi (Apteryx Australis Mantelli, Eastern)
    Taxon Plan for Eastern brown kiwi (Apteryx australis mantelli, Eastern) Strategic plan for the recovery of Eastern brown kiwi for the period 2014 – 2019 and beyond, including key actions required for their recovery. Lead author: Rhys Burns East Coast Bay of Plenty Conservancy Rotorua Version Date: April 2014 DOCDM-1256468 - Eastern NIBK Taxon Plan DRAFT 1 Low res figures 1 Last printed 27/11/2014 4:49:00 p.m. Preface The 2008-2018 Kiwi Recovery Plan (Holzapfel et al. 2008) provides strategic direction, at a national level, to ensure the long term viability of all kiwi taxa1. The Kiwi Recovery Group is responsible for the implementation and review of this national plan. Because the Kiwi Recovery Plan provides general national strategic level advice for many taxa over many regions, it can not practicably spell out management for each individual taxon to the level of detail required to guide work-plans and thus implement successful recovery. This is the role of taxon plans. Taxon plans translate the relevant goals, objectives and actions of the Kiwi Recovery Plan into a local context for individual taxa at a level of detail sufficient to guide operational plans. They are ‘best advice’ for all stakeholders regarding goals, objectives and actions, priorities and opportunities, for the management of individual taxa. As such, taxon plans are key documents for the implementation of the Kiwi Recovery Plan. Although taxon plans are more operationally-focused than the Kiwi Recovery Plan, they do not provide the level of detail of a workplan. Nor do taxon plans provide details of best practice information which is instead provided at a national level by the Kiwi Best Practice Manual (Robertson, et al.

  • 3671-The Neotectonics of the Ruahine and Mohaka Faults, Between The
    S&G 3671 FINAL PROGRESS REPORT Submitted to EARTHQUAKE AND WAR DAMAGE COMMISSION on the project 'THE NEOTECTONICS OF THE RUAHINE AND MOHAKA FAULTS, BETWEEN THE MANAWATU GORGE AND PUKETITIRI' December 1995 Principal Investigators Associate Professor V E Neall and Ms J A Hanson Department of Soil Science, Massey University, Private Bag 11 222, Palmerston North -- 0.-------------------1.. ABSTRACT New Zealand lies across the active IndoAustralian-Pacific plate boundary. Volcanic activity and earthquakes are a direct result of interaction between these two plates. The Wellington and Ruahine Faults are major strike-slip faults that have formed due to this interaction. These faults move sideways in a horizontal motion so that the area west of, and including the Central Ranges is moving northward while the East Coast of the southern North Island is moving southward. If earthquake activity is averaged out on a yearly basis, these two sections of the North Island move past each other at a rate of 5 to 7 mm (for the Wellington area) and up to 15 mm per year for the Dannevirke area. These rates of motion are high by world standards. The purpose of this study was to establish a record of past earthquake events which would allow future estimates of fault behaviour to be made in the region between the Manawatu Gorge and the Napier-Taupo highway. Trenches have been excavated through these faults in mainly swampy environments. Within these trenches are layers of earthquake debris, deformation and layers of peat. The layers of peat have been radiocarbon dated to give the approximate ages of the underlying and overlying earthquake debris.

  • Download Waikaremoana Lakes Fishery 2019
    Waikaremoana Lakes Fishery EASTERN REGION 1 1 Waikaremoana Lakes fishery – general fishing information The lake Waikaremoana fishery consists of four lakes and several tributary streams. Lakes Waikaremoana and Waikareiti are wilderness experiences whereas lakes Kaitawa and Whakamarino (known as Tuai) are stocked hydro-electric lakes. Lake Waikaremoana was formed when a landslide blocked the Waikaretaheke River over 2,000 years ago. Hydro-electric power generation has been in place since the 1920's. Waikaremoana is an idyllic location for boating and offers superb wilderness fishing experiences year-round. The lake has four boat ramps (shown overleaf) and camping, huts and toilet facilities. Lake Waikareiti is a walk of about 1.5 hours. The lake is pristine and offers some excellent trout fishing especially during the summer. Lake Waikaremoana The lake provides extensive fishing opportunities for several different fishing methods. Boaties may enjoy success trolling and harling within the many sheltered bays and inlets around the lake's 100 km of twisting, bush clad shoreline. The majority of the lake also is deep which lends itself to jigging however much of the bed is covered in sunken trees so anglers are best advised to find a suitable location before commencing. The use of downriggers, paravanes and metal-cored or wire lines is prohibited in Lake Waikaremoana. Shallow trolling with monofilament or LED lines are proven methods and a combination of tassie style lure, toby and fly work well year- round. Four easy access boat ramps can be found located at Mokau Landing, Home Bay, Rosie Bay and Onepoto. Lake Waikaremoana is situated at an altitude of 600m so the weather can change without notice.

  • Download Wairoa Fisheries Catchment
    Wairoa fisheries catchment EASTERN REGION The Wairoa River catchment is one of the largest within the Eastern Region and includes catchments of the major tributary rivers the Waiau, Waikaretaheke, Ruakituri and Hangaroa. It drains the eastern side of the Te Urewera country and includes Lake Waikaremoana, and the Putere Lakes, and in the Gisborne back country the Tiniroto area includes Kents Lake. In addition there are numerous smaller streams many of which are also good trout fisheries. The catchment spans an enormous area of bush country and farm and forest lands in the Wairoa and Gisborne districts. Opportunity for trout fishing is immense. For information on the Lake Waikaremoana and Ruakituri River fisheries, refer to the separate brochures specific to these fisheries. Waiau River The Waiau River commences in the heavily bushed Te Urewera at the confluence of the Parahaki and Wairoa Streams and drains the south eastern portion of Te Urewera, then flows through farm and forest country to be joined by the Waikaretaheke River. At Frasertown, the Waiau joins the Wairoa river which flows into the sea in northern Hawkes Bay near Wairoa town. The Waiau provides considerable angler opportunity from remote back country experiences, through to locations easily accessed by road. Fly and spin fishing are permitted methods. In its upper reaches within Te Urewera, much of the river can be accessed from tramping tracks, however a good level of fitness is advised if venturing into this area. Headwater streams the Parahaki and Wairoa also provide good fishing particularly in the early season. Main access points for anglers: This is a description of the main angler access points beginning in the upper reaches.
