I visited Raglan for the first time about one week ago, despite having lived in NZ for over thirty years.
I fished from the harbour entrance, the walkway and the recreational area through the camp grounds.
At all of these locations I was surprised by the amount of dog faecal matter I had to avoid. I love dogs but obviously Raglan dog owners are lazy and disgusting. It made my trip most unenjoyable.
