The Angler’s Paradise: A History of the Taupo Fishery

Last night I attended the launch of this movie with approximately 150 others.

My congratulations to John Ball for an excellent film of the history of the Taupo Fishery.

Many of the identities associated with the fishery feature in the film - John Gibbs, fishery manager, and Michel Dedual, DoC fishery scientist, Heather Macdonald, who John Ball thanked for the idea of the film, John Parsons, Rakeipoho Taiaroa, Alpha Cuthbertson, James Flight, Arthur Parish, Alasdair McNab, Bill Grace, Jarod Goedhart, Richard Kemp and many others.

This was not a how to catch fish movie nor one of fishing secrets nor of fish. It was a good coverage of the fishery in 3 sections:

1. Establishing and Managing the Taupo Fishery
2. The users of the Taupo Fishery
3. The Conservation of the Taupo Fishery

It’s worth seeing for anyone at all interested in angling or simply Lake Taupo as a fishery. Other viewings will be at:

A well recommended addition to your library.
