If you start there its only 20min to end of river down stream,unless you go up stream which well be hard work going against the current.I'm not sure about up stream from SH1 bridge as I havent been up there.

RJT you dont need big tyres for Selwyn river(no ruts)airing down tyres does help.

Please dont go down stream from Coes Ford, this is a nice fishery for some of us.

So how much water is in it? Ive just been back and had a look at the pics from last time, and dam! If its like that, I wont be going all the way down, thats for sure. I dont exactly want wet carpets again!

philux · Post by **philux** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 2:45 pm

last time kaney was the only one that got wet carpets and that was when he found a lil hole and got stuck :lol:

Elmo · Post by **Elmo** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 2:47 pm

Sweet as. If ya want a ride, txt me

Its hard to imagine the selwyn with a lot of water in it. I do know its soft though! Benn there found that!! ;-)

mud_slinger · Post by **mud_slinger** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 2:58 pm
