A boat will make a huge difference.I have fished the for the last 7 or so years but from what i can remember the river is very limited to some landbased locations.I may be wrong someone will correct me if i am

If you have a boat.. take it. You can fish the boat sheds and the Main Landings, but there is another 30km of fishable water in a boat.

If you dont have a boat, hire a boat from Chris Carson at the Nelson Boat hire. He will offer a wealth of information, as to will Deano at the Kiosk ( Plus a top Hamburger) and Neil at the Pub ( The best Beer in town).

Phil and Jill at the Roadhouse have a great stock of lures, information,fuel, drinks and food... you name it

In summary Nelson Offers everything an angler needs.......
