	Lake Mapourika Trout and Salmon Fishing
		Salmon were first released in to Lake Mapourika as early as 1932.
		There is also a small population of smaller landlocked salmon present in the lake.
		Like all the West Coast lakes that have dense bush surrounding them the water is tea-coloured from rain water leaching through the vegetation.

	Lake Mapourika - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lake Mapourika is located on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island.
		It is the largest of the west coast lakes, a glacier formation from the last iceage.
		As the winds of the region sweep high above the mountains of the Southern Alps, the water is left unruffled and quite reflective of the forest on the lake fringes.

	Kayaking Lake Mapourika, New Zealand
		Once at the Lake you unload the kayaks, all good for a bit of instant camaraderie, presented with a sprayskirt, have your shoes taken away and then a get a brief, straightfoward and confidence instilling paddling lesson before being pushed gently onto Mapourika's great mirror.
		Once you've learned something of the formation of the lake and landscape you are off to paddle across the extraordinarly calm lake at you own pace, as the guide paddles to and fro taking photographs of you against the staggering backdrop of the Southern Alps.
		You've just been so warm on the lake but the forest is in shadow, so the temperature drops dramatically, but your eyes, nose and ears are telling you it should be warm, and then you look along the river and your eyes don't quite know what they're seeing.

	New Zealand
		Regular monitoring is carried out on this Mt Ruapehu volcano and its Crater Lake: volcanic activity from even small eruptions may cause potentially dangerous mudflows or ‘lahars'.
		Crater Lake is one of two crater lakes (the other one is in Kelut, Java) regarded as classic case studies of interaction between magmatic fluids and lake water which often produce lahars.
		The Lake is surrounded by permanent ice and snow and is the most accessible and by far most active of only two or three such active crater lakes on the planet.

		On the way, I passed Lake Mapourika again, and this time, unlike our glimpse on the way in, it was absolutely perfect.
		Dr Smith says the lake is a putrid green- yellow colour and smells awful, and the cynaobacteria bloom is causing people to become unwell.
		Nick Smith says the primary driver behind the pollution is animals that are still being allowed to defecate directly into the lake, as well as the range of sewage schemes, including septic tanks, that surround the lake.

		We picked up our rental car at the airport in Frankton, and drove the 5 miles into Queenstown to find our hotel, which was on a hillside giving us beautiful views of Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables in the background.
		The Dart River flows into the lake at its northern end, and we could see the dust clouds blowing up from its braided stream system.
		We were quite surprised to see the White Heron, as we had read that there was only one breeding colony in the whole of NZ, some 30km (18 miles) north of Franz Josef, where we had planned to visit the next day.
