salmon fishing in New Zealand

It is a rainfall today, the day off from Catamaran building.
I will try to write something,

South Island in New Zealand was being once crowded with salmon fishing. Although crowded even now, the salmon which goes up to a river for spawning decreased, it fished, and the very thing popularity has faded.

Since the dairy cow farm which is the industry of New Zealand cultivates the dry riverbed in which grass originally does not grow, either, pumps up the water of the river bed, waters by sprinkler, cultivates grass forcibly and keeps dairy cow, when it is called without knowing why? . When it glances, it is visible to a great pasture, but in order to pump out the water of a river, it begins to get dry out , manure and fertilizer flow into the river with rain, and the river has become that it is likely to die stinking. Developing countries , New Zealand where priority was given to economy over natural environment falls victim to the laborious beautiful passage of money-making of some people, and nature is destroyed. It is actual that the reality in which it is never reflected by the photograph and video for advertisement is there, and the number of the every year increase by damage , the salmon of spawning is becoming fewer by this pollution.

Such come back only by it being impossible to fish simply and always seeing the river for a short period of time, although the river is visited in order that we may go to fish a salmon in passing whenever we go to South Island . [ Let's catch Salmon ! ] which will surely fish a salmon completely [ we made a decision] .
the caravan was pulled from North Island, and salmon fishing was thoroughly given for two months.
This is a story at that time.

Salmon fishing was carried out by making a caravan into a base in the campsite every day. wake up every morning at 4:00 then go to the river , once returning take a nap, and go to the river in the evening again. we did our best, when would stand near the stinking river and one salmon would be fished somehow. how to fish is easy -- a salmon -- it is as simple tedious fishing as it is better to say that the gimmick does not have the necessity , merely casting a lure in a river, and casting in the distance so much deeply , pulled lure slowly near the bottom , either, and is simply dug deep like fishing. It is the fishing which I want to flee at any moment when fishing of such a stinking river that is not interesting is disagreeable, and becomes. [ Fishes are in the river ? ] Salmon, Searun trout and Kahawai which will hang about at a mouth of a river come with flood tide. when into the river, used to get the body in fresh water of the river, Salmon go up to the upper stream, and Kahawai returns to the sea then hang around in the mouth of the river, and Searun trout carry out laying-eggs in the upper stream occasionally. In order that fish may go up and go to the upper stream along with a flow underfoot.

So angler as which there is no necessity of casting lure in the distance, and no device necessity. While dozens of people fish by taking up position near the mouth of a river, we also stand together, and imitated the method which local people are doing,. since it was too much simple fishing,-- the beginning -- me -- a salmon -- using the method of trout fishing, it is a difficult method of fishing and challenged. Although the shortcut, first of all, imitated the method which local people are doing, since it was too much simple fishing, perversity I decoyed myself.
a salmon while [ of about 100 persons ] hang and people can decoy nobody -- the salmon started by chance my fly rod which was aiming at the salmon with the fly fishing rod. Although a salmon hooked on is good, there are whether it having been fished and a problem , the salmon which is called [ beginner's luck ] to me -- since trout fishing was so accustomed-- a salmon -- unlike a trout , the salmon is forcibly large although it was going to fish like fishing. It jumped greatly suddenly and began to riot, and although the first jump was overcome somehow, in the jump which is the second time, it had the hook removed and has escaped. Since it had missed simply in spite of surrounding peoples aid, everybody had seen by the cold eye, but since the salmon which cannot be fished easily was hung, the device was heard at everybody by that time.

The salmon has not been fished about two months since then. A salmon cannot be fished yet , although Searun trout and Kahawai can be fished occasionally. It still fishes toward the river every day. Although it sees, seeing salmon, since salmon go into the river like every day a certain time -- when -- a thing -- while appearing or sinking into an impending flow like ---fresh water --- accustomed ---since the figure to which the salmon made like has stick in one place , a lure was cast, but however it may do even if it pulls slowly and pulls quickly, a salmon does not interested in a lure. A salmon like an around 1m dolphin appears at hand, or it sinks, or is carrying out. Although there is also individual specificity, after leaving a few, it goes up and goes to the upper stream slowly. Therefore, a salmon is in a place impending [ several meters ] for a while. Although a lure is cast in order it is desperate and to fish this salmon, it cannot be fished.

If a river overflows and it rains in a mouth of a river, of course even if a mouth of a river is in the river which this salmon go up openly, when it rains upstream, a river will overflow. Such a day was also fishing, although everybody did not become fishing toward the river. a salmon -- except since it knows that the fish is drifting on the boundary line which a muddy stream and a clear stream join and other anglers are not even if the river overflows,memorized by trout fishing and is, good fishing can be performed, can not be fished every day, and we asked to local people whether only we can not catch a salmon , local people will say, "about seven salmons return to a river every day." Seemingly, it can fish by the probability of about one per day, while about an average of 100 persons are fishing. It is also the people who got to know all salmon fishing of local. It is the fishing which cannot fish at least that of a word lie saying "It is the better one if two salmon can be fished by a local man in a one season ( four months ). this -- about -- if it is a salmon which cannot be fished and I will fish somehow, the idea of the freak, will burning with catch a salmon .

Then, although the fishing which cannot be fished every day again is carried out, it cannot fish too. When I told to wife that I who was giving up truly will already stop today, wife said, "It waits a little longer, and if it passes to a slight degree, a salmon surely passes along this." Simple fishing petty unavoidable again was continued. then, it will be having done what -- the salmon started truly suddenly. It is two months and the second salmon The salmon which acted as needle charge turned the face of the salmon to the upper stream skilfully with the salmon which runs in into a river by first-run one not being missed shortly, led it to the creek which flows into a river, was well guided to the bank, and was pulled up on the bank. This was deep emotion.
When I asked wife later why the salmon passed along this at this time. Wife fishes every day. It is saying that the salmon went into the mouth of a river from the sea, and began to go up to the upper stream, and this time; passes oneselves front calculated every day. Thus, wife has realized that it is the fun of fishing from considering action of a fish having fished the fish.

There was another impression, a sight which salmon go up to spawning even such a dirty river and salmon fishing in which it is simple , although the water of the river decreased and the salmon has decreased, when the salmon which go to up along with a flow is wrong and a shallow is collided with, since the back cannot do it as for a salmon, the shallow is gone up desperately and it goes -- the step is gone up -- if it becomes, to the extent that it flies and takes with the fingers -- most -- the whole body is taken out and the shallow is gone up. It is a wonderful spectacle which the morning sun reflects in the salmon which goes up this shallows , and huge silver lure goes up the river, and goes. This is worth seeing. moreover, the figure of the salmon which shines with glitter.
Although I do not think wanting to go to this river to fish a salmon again but I definitely think that would like to see that sight of spawning run in the shallows river.

The present dream , go to Alaska again and has wanted to fish a king salmon near the mouth of a river , when the catamaran is completed.
