Catfishing at Ohinemutu 2021

 Every week 4 Middle School children have been going to Ohinemutu to check the catfish nets that have been set in the lake there. We have not caught any catfish yet this year, which is a positive for the lake. We count and return the bycatch, which is usually cockabullies, mosquito fish and goldfish. We have also caught the occasional koura and eel.
