This was sent to me from minutes of the combined clubs meeting "There is a 20m drop at a washout on the Poulter."

Take care.

Last time I was there (3 mo ago) we dropped into the river about 1/2 K back from the slip then went back onto the track a bit further up.

I understand the large scree slope may be a struggle to drive now too.

Spent most of the time on the river bed, an outboard would of been handy Thats pressy's 80 in there somewhere

[niblik]

it does..

but more to the point, did ya catch any fish?

only thing i see swimming is pressy!

[kbjj]

We didn't even see any fish, not saying there arn't any thou. It's a reasonably fast flowing river with very few (if any) quite pools or eddys and was still a little higher than usual. I've little experience with fishing this type of water, excuses, excuses I know It was windy as well, at times your legs were getting sand blasted. A fish would have been nice, but its all about the adventure, and scenery....

Looks like an awesome spot. Whats the track like up there, could you do it on your own or best not to?

The hardest past is crossing the river due to the slip, its also quite remote so I would take two vehicles minimum
