	Taking the liberty of bumping this thread--for those that might have missed Rupert James's story and his contribution to the Ruakituri River fishery.

Great that he returned to the river, discovering that his efforts had been sucessful, every fish caught there is a tribute to him, his mates and their efforts.

	Very enjoyable read, makes you appreciate even more, that the actions of a few good buggers made NZ the greatest place on earth. It is also makes me look to the present; increasing urbanisation of our culture, to the point where a lads weekend is spent mindlessly driving an ugly car around and around the city blocks. I guess if they could all realise a backcountry adventure as our fore fathers had planned for us; then the hills would be over-run with fools.

	Cheers guys. I hope it gives an insight into the early releases of trout in our back country rivers. Blokes like Rupert James left us a marvelous angling legacy. I hope some who missed Ruperts story the first time around get to read it now.

	Gday Sikahill Glad you enjoyed it--At 13 you would have remembered friday night shopping I guess---about 10 years before my time at G&D. It seemed everyone came into town on friday nights back then--

	Awesome peice of local folk lore. Rua's Track was my intro to tramping. Our fourth form teacher took all the boys in there as an end of year blow out. I remember putting the pack on my back for the first time (in my life) at the bottom of the hill and then climbing up that ridge, we rested and had lunch at the Anzac clearing and then pitched our tents on the Anini clearing at the end of the first day. There was a deer culler in there, a Maori bloke dossing under a basic fly who didn't want much conversation from a bunch of 15yr old boys, unsurprisingly by the time we got up the next mornin he was gone. I also remember huge eels in the Anini stream beside the clearing. I went back in there again with the same teacher as a sixth former as an add on to his fourth form class. I remember being aware of deer sign in there and becoming interested in the propsect of trying to bump into one. I have often thought it would be a great thing to take a walk back in there just for old times sake and taking a rifle and a 4pc fly rod. Thanks again Baz for a great contribution.
