84 and still at it !

Norrie spins a yarn of Christmas drinks, growingup, family and of course,fishing..

I'm David Haynes and am proud to have been elected as

President of the New Zealand Federation of Freshwater

Anglers (www.nzffa.net) at the AGM which took place in May

this year at Rotorua. It's a real honour to be part of an

organisation with such history and pedigree and I hope my

contributions will continue to strengthen its voice.

As for me, well, it goes without saying that "passionate angler"

would be an understatement as fishing has been the axis of my

life since I was eleven (only a few years ago, honestly). As a kid

I spent every spare hour (including those which should have

been occupied by school) on the River Trent, in Nottingham

UK, fishing for roach, gudgeon, dace and perch. After moving

to London I travelled around the UK and the world in search of

fishing, especially for wild brown trout - a real rarity in the UK

nowadays. I've fished in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, East Africa,USA, Spain, France, Italy, India and Kashmir amongst other

places. After emigrating here to NZ nine years ago I have

finally found paradise. Continued on page 3...

i,

ummer threw us the driest on record and now for therst Month of Winter its been so Wet! Fishing off theaieri has been fantastic over the very few days, thatould be fished. Be very careful crossing the Taieriiver Mouth Bar at the moment. Some close calls haveeen experienced.

he importance of the Paua fishery in our PAU 5D areasas been made very clear by the huge number of ubmissions leading up to the Minister for Primary

ndustries; Hon Nathan Guys announcement thisMonth June 14th. The Minister has extendedonsultation on the Otago/Southland Paua fisheriesview, with instructions for the Ministery for Primary

ndustries to organise a process to work with allakeholders to reach a constructive solution. In otherords we are around the table negotiating for savingis Kiwi way of Life! A group representing the Paua toe People and myself representing our Club, together,

ad a very constructive meeting with Hon MichaelWoodhouse over this issue on June 20th. Michael is

king further questions from the MPI and emphasizingat any change does not undermine opportunities forcreational and customary paua gathering. Im yet toe scientific data that shows there will NOT be any

etrimental effects on these Paua areas, if commercialperators take control. Another concern is the effects of ur stock biomass, ecosystem, and fish habitat on ourher coastal fisheries if commercialisation takes place.hese questions will be asked over the next meetingsat are taking place with the MPI and the Minister.

es there is rough waters for recreational fishing;riven by the Government looking for ways to increasee countrys economy. We have our Paua issue and ourorthern recreational fishers have the snapper issue of

hanging the laws governing recreational, customarynd commercial snapper fishing. Recreational Fishers of ew Zealand need a strong and professional voice forLL recreational fishers divers, spearfishing, shellfishatherers, sports fishing, wet fishing, boat fishers,hore fishers, Iwi, and NZ families. Moves are in

rogress in bringing ALL TOGETHER.

ne high point for our freshwater anglers of our Club;the Environment Courts decision in favour of a

complete prohibition on damming the Nevis one of New Zealands most outstanding wild & scenic rivers.The Nevis River is now a step closer to full protection.Our NZ Federation of Freshwater Anglers Associationand Otago community; recognise this unique fishery,outstanding natural landscape and the source of ourrare native galaxid fish that this river provides. Thedecision signals the end of a hearing process thatstarted in 2006.

Our Club sympathies and prayers go out to theCuttance Family of the sudden passing of our ClubMember; Don Cuttance. A respected farmer, horsetrainer and likable character. His wit will be missed.

A Grant has been lodged to help towards restoration,and necessary repairs to our historic club rooms Former Smaills Homestead. We have gained supportletters from the New Zealand Historic Places Trust -Otago/Southland, NZ Masters Games Committee, Lions

Club and Frances Hodgkins Retirement Village. Its nowa matter of waiting for the outcome.

For those of you 35 years and older a date to put in your diaries is the February 2nd 2014 Masters GamesSea Fishing Competition. $35 per person to enter &hosted by Tautuku Fishing Club. Event covers, heaviestSalmon, Blue Cod, Groper, Shark, Coutta, & orTrumpeter. Usually a great week of sport andentertainment. This year its back to the University of Otago facilities for the evening gigs etc.

Take time to view our Club Facebook and Website pagesfor updates on fishing issues. Also look @ NZ SportsFishing, NZ Federation of Freshwater Anglers, LegaSeaand FishinFuture Website pages for NZ fishing stories. Icontinue to say; that Fishing is a part of a Kiwisbirthright and our heritage.

Cheers, Brett

My experience of overseas angling reinforces my views

hat our fresh and saltwater fisheries here are of

mmense importance, they are finite, fragile and all

ttempts to exploit them for profit inevitably leads to

heir destruction. They provide spiritual sanctuary,

reathtaking surroundings, places for kids to learn and

ave fun and are a magnet for overseas anglers who

nvy our crystal clear waters and quality of sports fish.

Unfortunately there are those among us who see rivers

nd inshore waters as a resource to be plundered and

bused and for these reasons I joined the NZFFA - to

ight, kick, scream, shout, argue and make as much

uss, noise and bother as possible to protect our fishing

eritage. The Federation is proud to have Tautuku

Ishing Club as a member and extend our appreciation

f all the good work done by the club and its president,

Brett.

Over the coming twelve months the Federation will

continue to fight the proposed RMA and Freshwater

Reforms, submit in opposition to development

proposals which could potentially damage fisheries,

exclusive capture of fisheries and forge closer alliances

with clubs, Fish and Game, public access New Zealand

and other like-minded organisations.

Happy trails and tight lines to you all!

Results of Murray Mattingly Cup (Heaviest fish)Terry Corbett Memorial (Most species)

Both competitions were competed for over QueensBirthday weekend.

Four boats registered.

The weather over the last months has been dreadfulfor fishing, so it was great to get the opportunity toget out to sea.I talked Don White into coming with us, and we shotout to one of the canyons to try Don's electric reel.......Flat battery.To Don's credit, he fished really well manually,

securing 5 species for the day, (groper, bluecod,dogfish, jock stewart, coutta) and winning both theTerry Corbett and Murray Mattingly trophies.Great effort Don.

All the blue cod were in great condition, quite a fewaround 2.5kg and a few about 3kgs,We also caught a witch fish, (120meters) Interesting,this is the second time over the last 12 months wehave caught one out in the deep in same area. Like aflounder, but horrible boney things. Not great eatingbecasue of all the bones in them.

As you can see its been a bit rough to get out on theeast coast for fishing lately, but you can get a freesalt water car wash at St Clair.

Tight lines, Murray Muir


Club Captains'Report

An excerpt from:

Will Salmon Really MakeYou Smarter?

By Erika Stalder

Nutritionally, salmon has a CV that reads like a

hampion multivitamin commercial. It's packedwith all of the essential amino acids, antioxidants

ike vitamins A, and E, vitamins D, B6 and B2,

calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium,

niacin and riboflavin.Then, there are the Omega-

3 oils (polyunsaturated, or "good" fats).They've

been shown to help lower risk of heart disease by

decreasing blood lipids and inflammation in the

blood vessels. (That last part may explain why

salmon eaters often have glowing skin.) Add the

fact that this fish, whether wild or farmed,

measures low on the mercury scale, and you've

got a bonafide superfood.

SUPERFOOD

was raised in the city of Norwich, situated on the eastcoast of England. Norwich is renowned for its beautifulcathedral and its historical castle which is also a much

admired museum, I learnt more at this museum of theMaori wars of New Zealand, than I did back home here.

Sorry anglers, but I was born by mistake.

My dear mother in 1929, decided to have a Christmas drinkwith her sister who lived in Burnham Thorpe; North Norfolkwhich I might add, was the birth place of Lord Nelson.Now my mother was heavily pregnant with me. What withall the rattling on the old bus, when we arrived at BurnhamThorpe; I decided to poke my head out, when they tookmum to the local pub, they were unable to get mum to abedroom; so I was born on the floor of the pub.Yes and Ihave suffered jibes ever since. Unable to have a Christmas drink as I was under aged, they took mebauling to hospital. And that was how Norrie Day entered this world.

Yes we suffered the misery of the German Blitzkrieg on Norwich, my mum ended up a cripple, and I

was severely smacked up when our home received a near direct hit. We had to move out of our secondhome when it was condemned as unsafe after a bombing raid.War is one hundred per cent misery. Iused to go to school and see the children crying looking at the empty desks of the children who wouldnot be coming back. Of watching housewives throwing rocks at low flying German aircraft. Maybe itshat spirit of defiance thats made me proud of my birthright.

My family? I am mighty proud of them, I had a relative, Leading trooper Daniel Day of the light horse,Royal Hussars.He fought in the famous Charge of the light brigade, at Balaklava.My uncle, CPL SydneyJames Day was awarded the Victoria Cross at Hargicourt, 24th August 1917. My father was a trooper inHis Majesties Household Cavalry and went on to be a soldier in the 6th Airborne Division and were theirst paratroopers to drop behind enemy lines on D- Day.

At the age of fifteen I joined the Merchant Navy and on my very first trip; we hit a German mine in theBaltic, of the 27 members of the crew only 9 of us survived.

served on three more ships before I realized that I was not going to see the world from the deck of aship.So I along with a Moslem friend; Johnny Baracaldo decided to see the world by backpacking.

Johnny , whose family got trapped in England at the out break of the 2nd world war became very closeriends and never dreamt what was in store for us .What an adventure we had over a period of nearlyive years but thats another story.

Angling? - my angling career began when my father put mento this old tea chest on wheels that he carted behind hisicycle, I was seven years old. Dad took me to this old millt Trowse where I succeeded in catching a small roach.rom then on, my brother and I used to fish the Norfolk

Broads catching many varieties of course fish.We used tosh from the bridge at Wroxham using a small hook with aingle split shot and a maggot for bait; and catch scores of

Rudd who were feeding on the surface,Them days, the freeishing was unlimitless in clean blue waters, and so Norrieaught the bug and from then on angling was not just aove; but a passion.

n 1952 John and myself worked our passage down toRosario, Argentina. From there we travelled to Tierra Del

uegos, there we went over the border with Chile and

shed the estuaries where we caught a number of largeea run trout over 12kg. Then on to Punta Arenas, fromhere we travelled up the east coast of Argentina fishingarious rivers mainly for the huge trout that inhabited thesevers and yes where anglers were a rare sight. The whole area was an anglers dream; but then it was in

he year of 1953.We then travelled up through Uruguay, Paraguay, through to Brazil right up to Panama,Mexico then over the border at Laredo into the USA. Johnny stayed on in Texas, while I went on toCalifornia as I wanted to fish the famous Rogue River.We then proceeded up to Quebec where we got ahip back to England.

After a short stay we went on to Cape Town and travelled through the African Continent to Port Saidshing various rivers including the mighty Zambesi.Right through all the countries that we visited;we

ound that the people were very friendly even in the now notorious Zimbabwe.Them days it was knowns Rhodesia, and was a beautiful Country. In fact it was known as the fruit basket of Africa. Look at itow. But remember folks it got its freedom from Great Britain, what freedom?

n 1956 I migrated to New Zealand and my first job was construction of the Auckland Harbour Bridge,traight away i appreciated its angling potential.

suppose I am one of a dying group of anglers who have had the pleasure of fishing the famousDreadnought, Admirals and Hutt Pools on the Tongariro River. These famous pools where wiped out inhe disastrous floods in 1958. It was on the Dreadnought Pool, that I met the legendary old [Frosty]rost.Frosty was the man that started the well known Andersons Tackle Shop. Frosty taught me manyrts on how to fish the Tongariro.When I first met him I walked up to the pool and cast my fly into theool using my greenheart rod that Dad had bought me as a going away present.On my second cast, Iooked a very angry rainbow. The rod collapsed into pieces to roars of laughter from old Frosty Heyom you have been introduced to a Tongariro Trout !! Followed by more laughter. He then took me up

o his shop and rigged me out with some up to date NZ fishing gear, at a price!! Frosty then taught mehe art of nymph and dry fly fishing,something that well known anglers claimed that they introduced inhe 70s. These pools were made famous by the legendary Zane Grey.

ince that period of my life I then moved to Hawkes Bay, where I have lived up to the present day. Myfe took on a dramatic change when I was befriended by Tony Orman who got me to stand as

Councillor for the then HB Acclimatisation Society; now the HB Fish and Game. Since that time I haveecome a fierce protector of our fisheries.

was involved in forming the HB Federation of Freshwater Anglers that went on to become the Newealand Federation of Freshwater Anglers. I am renowned for being outspoken and yes I do make theccasional mistake, but my heart lies in protecting our fisheries from commercialisation.have witnessed our fisheries the way they used to be; and now we our plagued with pollution andxclusive capture and the rape of our shore line fisheries by poachers all for the mighty dollar.

he biggest battle we have is anglers apathy. Someone once said 'Anarchy is only bred when good meno nothing'.

have led a very adventurous life and somehow the young can only dream of doing. Now I am old, andan only dream of what I used to do. I am crippled because of four goons in a car - but I still retain my

marbles. I am going to get better, you might ask how?Maybe I remember those housewives who threw rocks at those German aircraft; maybe I might share

art of their indomitable spirit.

t r o u t

team of North Canterbury Fish & Game staff and volunteers braved sub-zero temperatures in thenterbury High Country yesterday, as they undertook a fish salvage on behalf of Trustpower.

uated above Lake Coleridge, the Harper Diversion runs between the Harper River and the top of theke,and is a vital part of Trustpowers power generation in the area.

ading the salvage team, North Canterbury Fish & Games Tony Hawker said the power company isutting down the diversion for maintenance at this quieter time of year and engaged Fish & Game tomove the fish before they ran it dry.

ough the sun shone, and half a metre of snow lined the canal, the temperature never rose above zerod, according to North Canterbury Fish & Games Kelvinright,If you took your net out of the water it waszen within 30 seconds.

ustpower reduced the flow of water to approximatelylf a cumec which allowed Fish & Game to get in thereth its specialised electric fishing machinery topture the trout and other species, in the quickest,ost humane way.

awker said he was very impressed with the condition

d size of the trout, with some of the adults estimatedbe between 6-8lb. The salvage results included; 55ult trout, 22 juvenile trout, and 15 native speciescluding eel and galaxiids; All were relocated intoe Harper Rivers main flow.
