Every year, usually around mid-July, the deal gets right, and I’ll take goofy selfies with a handful of thick ones.įrom a boat, or kayak, I’d want to position downcurrent, cast toward the pipe and mimic something flowing naturally, but my access is nearly parallel to the pipe, so I try to hit the slack water ambush spots along the water’s course. Personal account: A small neighborhood drain pipe dumps into the lake behind my property, and when big summer rains crank up the volume, an insane frog bite ensues. Current always attracts bass, but the rush of stormwater brings a sudden food bounty, while disorienting local forage. In those stormwater management bodies, as well as natural lakes and ponds, drain pipes skirted by vegetation present the closest thing to a slam dunk as the shore-bound frogger will find. Elsewhere, publicly accessible retention ponds with year-round depth and weedy areas can be overlooked and underutilized gems.

Kerry-Jayne Wilson has had a life-long interest in natural history and is the author of Flight of the Huia, which describes in detail the ecology and conservation of New Zealand's birds, frogs, reptiles and mammals.
It will enable birdwatchers and naturalists to keep records of the species they see during field excursions in New Zealand. This pocket checklist includes all the species of birds, frogs, reptiles, mammals and butterflies that currently have wild populations in New Zealand, plus vagrant species that have been reliably recorded here during the last 25 years.
