| New Zealand Wildlife Facts |
 |
| Before the coming of
the Maori, the Kiwi had no predators. Although the Maori
valued Kiwi feathers for making cloaks, the number of
birds killed by Maoris was probably insignificant. During
the latter part of last century, many thousands of Kiwis
were captured by Europeans for zoos, museums and private
collections. Bush clearing, introduced predators, opossum
traps and motor vehicles have all contributed to the reduction
in the Kiwi population. |

The Tributary Rivers & Streams

|
|

|
|
All tributary rivers and streams of the Rangitaiki river
are open to fly fishing from October till the end of June.
There are many of them with most head waters originating
in Te Urewera and Whirinaki Forest Parks.
They traverse some of the most scenic land in the country.
Natural, native flora and fauna provide the perfect backdrop
for these pristine gin-clear waters.

|
The only noise here is nature itself. Bubbling brook sounds,
cascading water falls, insect and bird life.
Some streams are strictly seasonal, but others hold resident
trout all year.
Nymphing
is the main fly fishing method but during the summer months,
(December to March) the dry fly rises throughout the day and
evening can be absolutely awesome.
