An update re: Tongariro river flow
"The Poutū Intake and Tunnel works has been delayed by 24 hours. We now expect the works to be completed tomorrow night, Wednesday 3 May, flows returning to their usual levels during Tongariro Power Scheme operations from Thursday."
A warm welcome back to Tim McCarthy who has returned for the winter season. He is a valued team member, and we are very excited to have him here. Whether he is busy tying flies for the shop or selling high end rods, the man is madly skilled and knowledgeable.
We continue to wait with anticipation for the Tongariro river flow to return as we know it to be, just in time for the fresh rainbows now entering the system. Shop Dad has been out and about to score himself some really fat chromers which is great to see.
