It is true that the smaller streams are low because of lack of rain, but this does not apply to streams like the Puerua, Owaka, and Pomahaka, where, latest observers say. there 's plenty of water and feed. Even in the Molyneux, where there is never any question of lack of water, some good fish have been seen rising to the whitebait, and also in the vicinity of the lock near the mouth of the Puerua.
