No Rudd ... yay
But this 159 mm Giant Bully was a nice bonus.

jacqui-nzDescription
2 elver eels wriggling in shells near a freshwater spring outflow. The channel to the sea had almost dried up. Returned the eels to water.
A larger short-finned eel was seen in the same location November 2015.

This little goby was found dead on the bottom of the river.
A few days later we found a dead longfin eel at the bottom of the river nearby (http://naturewatch.org.nz/observations/2719543)- coincidence or is it common to find dead fish it late summer when the river temperatures are up?

Some of these caught in a highly modified stream (little more than a farm drain) and relocated to the nearby Komakorau Stream by Waikato Regional Council staff during drain clearance operations. My brother took the photo.
