    1 IN CONVERSATION WITH THE MAYOR GARY TONG through new technology (such as through our roading team’s use of drones). On a personal note, two things have stood have out this year; one of great sadness, the other a highlight. Sadly, we farewelled former Mayor Frana Cardno in April. She was a great role model and the reason I got into politics; a wonderful woman who will be sadly missed. Rest in peace, Frana. At the other end of the spectrum, in May I helped host His Mayor Gary Tong Royal Highness Prince Harry’s visit to Stewart Island. He’s a top bloke whose visit generated fantastic publicity for the Much like before crossing the road, island and Southland District.

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. Fly anglers should try baitfish imitations such as Mrs Simpson (red), Parsons productive (especially off the Hina Hina Road on dark nights).

  • CRT Conference 2020 – Bus Trips
    CRT Conference 2020 – Bus Trips South-eastern Southland fieldtrip 19th March 2020 Welcome and overview of the day. Invercargill to Gorge Road We are travelling on the Southern Scenic Route from Invercargill to the Catlins. Tisbury Old Dairy Factory – up to 88 around Southland We will be driving roughly along the boundary between the Southland Plains and Waituna Ecological Districts. The Southland Plains ED is characterized by a variety of forest on loam soils, while the Waituna District is characterized by extensive blanket bog with swamps and forest. Seaward Forest is located near the eastern edge of Invercargill to the north of our route today. It is the largest remnant of a large forest stand that extended from current day Invercargill to Gorge Road before European settlement and forest clearance. Long our route to Gorge Road we will see several other smaller forest remnants. The extent of Seaward forest is shown in compiled survey plans of Theophilus Heale from 1868. However even the 1865 extent of the forest is much reduced from the original pre-Maori forest extent. Almost all of Southland was originally forest covered with the exception of peat bogs, other valley floor wetlands, braided river beds and the occasional frost hollows. The land use has changed in this area over the previous 20 years with greater intensification and also with an increase in dairy farming. Surrounding features Takitimus Mtns – Inland (to the left) in the distance (slightly behind us) – This mountain range is one of the most iconic mountains in Southland – they are visible from much of Southland.
