Fish & Game is providing a free talk and demonstration on improving anglers' boat fishing skills and knowledge.
The event is set for Stoney Point reserve, off Spencer Rd, Lake Tarawera this Sunday . The talk begins at 10am and runs for about two hours.
There is no booking and you don't need to bring anything, but a fold-out chair and suitable clothing, rain or shine, might be handy.
Fish & Game officers Mark Sherburn and Matt Osborne will talk and demonstrate worthwhile information on the trout's life-cycle, their food, habits and habitat and tips and techniques to be more successful when fishing for trout from boats. Afterward a demonstration will be given on how to clean and completely de-bone a trout before hot smoking it.
The talk was simple, easy-to-understand stuff designed to enhance anglers' enjoyment on the lakes and ultimately make them more successful, said Sherburn.
