Always Fly Fishing jacket

Rosemary from Nawton

Jacket is brand new, never been used. Because it was stuffed in a drawer (I didn't know about it) for more than 5 years I can't sell it as brand new. I can't find any information on the brand online either. It definitely is quality gear.

It is multi-pocketed, several are pockets within pockets and are sealed with Velcro. There is a window on the top right hand side to display the licence. The lower part of the jacket can be removed as can the sleeves, making it simply a vest. The hood can also be removed.

Size XL. It is quite a heavy jacket (about 2 kg) so I think only a big bloke could use it once it has all the accessories on board. My husband was a big man so it would have been ideal for him. Sadly, his fishing hobby was curtailed due to ill health and I am now trying to sort all his 'stuff'.

Price: $150

Is there an algae issue where you are?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Once touted as an anglers paradise, and a top water-sport playground on the Waikato River, Mangakino is in danger of becoming a ghost town as toxic algal blooms slowly suck the life out of its main attraction - Lake Maraetai.

Locals say cyanobacterial algal blooms in the river’s hydro lakes have become more frequent over the past five years, and when they arrive no-one can swim or fish in them.

Is there an algae issue where you are? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Tamahere home in dentist case was once centre of accountant’s fraud

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It’s been a feature in a recent Hamilton District Court trial , but a Tamahere mansion already has an complicated history.

The property in Woodcock Rd - notable for having a hydroslide in the back yard - the scene of now-disproved alleged sexual offending by Hamilton dentist Rahul Gautam - made headlines more than 15 years ago, when it was a focus in the case of accountant Gary Soffe.
