"Hi guys. This is a pivotal moment in the life of this river and fishery.
Many of us have fished the Hurunui, or hunted the valleys, walked the riverbed, experienced the grandeur and magnificence of this stunning river.... it is one of the few wilderness rivers left in NZ that are relatively unchanged.
Damming it will totally change that.
I believe we need to protect our natural resource... NOT muck around with it and stuff it up. The trout and salmon fishery will be changed forever if this goes ahead. So will the hunting, the access.... the natural beauty that is the river and the valleys and catchment.
Please take 5 minutes, write a letter or submission stating your opinion and I will take these letters to the meeting next week.
I’m asking for 5 minutes of your time now to try and save a fishery forever.
Email me your letters and I will take to meetings next week.
If you have people in your address book that would also write a note and be heard, PLEASE send this on!
I fish this river for my own pleasure, and know it from that aspect... I also guide into this region and get to see the effect and awe this majestic river inspires in visiting anglers from overseas.
There are so few rivers that remain untouched... the world needs treasures like this gem... NZ is a fabulous destination for tourism, do we want to be famous for clean green and untouched, or manmade concrete and interference of the resources? We only get one chance to keep it natural... apathy and inactivity are what the big boys in hydro power are banking on to get this dam approved. Please, help make a difference.
The photo in my signature below is a fish caught in the Hurunui (and released back in to the river 2 minutes later!)
