[A Frayed Knot]

The guy ripping on his line. Is that trying to snag the fish
Or is he stuck on the bottom. Regardless it looks weird.

Pretty sure hes caught between rocks happens a lot there but its easy to fix without losing gear, you just let line go till your float starts ripping down river, and keep the rod up high and just walk around it carefully. (So you don't go my friend backwards into the water). Works all the time for me. That or use the milk jug method like when you are bar fishing but instead just use a 1L pop bottle

However if he was trying to snag, he musta missed Snagging 101...still looked pretty funny.

pisses me off! I can hear them now "I got this one in the mouth"...what a joke.

It's these meatheads that make going around the corner at Tamahi an experience each and every time, some people just asking for no more side view mirror on the driver side. A quick and painless death to this fishery would be to go around that corner with a beefed up snowplow at about 100kmph.....

At least these guys will not be at my quiet fishing hole..

I  think I've pretty well seen it all now ........what a new  concept !!!!!!

  " High Speed Drift Fishing"   cast your float and see whose float wins the race to the end of the rapids !!!   or cast your bouncing betty  and fight like hell to get it back to shore where ever that may be.

I guess I really shouldnt be suprised after all theres fish in them there  rapids...   

The video pretty much sums up how desperate people are these days to land anything that is alive so they can kill it and take it home  or kick it back to the river .Honestly I've never seen anthing so stupid in my life   what a sad bunch !!!!!!!!

[pacific flyer]

lol.. WOW.. unbelievable

[nosey]

Couldn't even watch the whole thing, feel sorry for you Chris having to stand there and shoot it.

[Taboo]

HOLLIS!!  WHERE IS THIS HOLE???  YOU MUST TELL ME???  (Nevermind, I'll scout it out and let you know what it's looking like...first cast ETA 3PM tomorrow!

Tamihi Rapids is like the lower Stave...sacrificial. If you quarantine all the madness there, it leaves the rest of the river for the self righteous rest of us

The floss fest was out in full force today too with the river Nesquik.....
Are these people just unaware of what they are doing in a small river such as this, or are they ignorantly sliding in between the other sheep hoping it's survival by numbers..... Either way it's disgusting and polluting the rest of the river with these techniques

You can add KWB, Tesky's Rock and a few other spots to the list. Now if we could only keep those pesky fly fishermen away from some of the sweet spots.

But in all seriousness, I didn't see any violation of the regulations (assuming the coho on the beach was a hatchery clone). Just a lot of ignorance, which, we all know, is bliss!

[jacked55]

Holy cupcakes! I had no idea it was that bad there.

[2slow4me]

Seen a lot worst up pass the bridge, a few guys drift their line in the rapid for about 4 feet distance without the float hitting the water and snagged onto fishes!     

And did you know that fish bite with it my friend?   

[ynot]

its even worst on weekends.

[Walleye76]

Tamihi? Really??I could have sworn that was peg leg... Unbelieveable that people travel to participate in that...is it always this bad or has this season been worse cause of the sockeye gong show?
