Electric eeling in the mighty Waihi River

We need to celebrate our Kindergarten when we are able to take the children out into the community!  Geraldine may be a small rural town but it has so much to offer and today we ventured down to the Waihi River to meet Hamish from the Fish and Game in Temuka.

The children have been so interested and involved in fishing of late Hamish agreed to meet us with his new and novel way of fishing!

 It was called Electric Fishing! 

Aiden shared with us that it could "Electro-shoot you!" 

  What amazing knowledge our children are willing to share! 
So we had to take care, Hamish and Ben wore waders to prevent any electric shock.  However, it didn't save the fish from being caught!

We netted brown trout, eels, and bullies!

We learnt so much.  Did you know that cockabullies live in salt water and in fresh water they are called bullies?
