Description
The Hitara II is the upper section of the Hitara covering the main stem of the Hitara above the landslide and its tributary. This is an exciting area and has been particularly popular with small groups and families. Fished by two rods, if you are happy parking up the car, stretching your legs and exploring this is an incredibly exciting opportunity. In amongst some typically thin stretches of water there are small pockets and pools covering 7 kms or more of water. The rewards when you spot, cast and catch a salmon is enormous! Maybe as appealing is the surroundings.Total wilderness with not a soul in sight!
