    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Because it is a big climb out with sixty kilo’s of trout in your pack?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    @Dundee I've nearly got the gear sorted for the new rod etc. But after looking at the choice of spinning gear etc and umpteen zillion videos; I'm really excited about using soft baits for trout!

    @Shearer @MSL
    Crappy forecast but I went anyway. Spectacular river and very spooky fish. It was a great day even though it was cold and wet.








    My best for the day at 1.7kg. Looks like she had a tussle with an eel at some stage.


    Lots of Sika sign. We got whistled at a couple times
