A sign beside the Childrens Fishing Pond in the Tongariro National Tour Hatchery says No Fishing, except for Children.
Fishing for Children?.....and only on programmed days? Are those the special days when they gather up all the naughty children and throw them in the pool and then they let us fish them out? And if we don't like what we catch, can we throw them back again?
We had a vision of anglers lined up around the pool trying desperately to catch a splashing squealing child..... using what for bait? Jellybeans or Marshmallows maybe? I don't think they'd get many bites using worms or insect lures!
