Description The Rakaia River is the venue for probably the southern hemispheres biggest and most successful freshwater competition. It has been running now since 1983 and is notable for the wide range of prizes as well as the very friendly social atmosphere. Our current prize pool is $49,000 which we like to spread as wide as we can. Probably the unusual feature of our contest is the major prize, which is a Kawasaki four wheel motorbike, is up for grabs by simply entering as it is drawn amongst all the contestants. We also have a junior section which is very popular. Entries are limited to 750 senior at $70.00 each and 150 juniors at $10.00 each. Entries do not go on sale until December 2009.
Please note that entries will not now go on sale until mid January 2010 due to problems with the Department of Internal Affairs.
