    It's a 7/8 NZ Green reel, which goes for around $120. Let me know if there is interest, and I'll write up a review on the forum. So far, so good...

    How is the reel working out ? Decent drag? Sharp price

    @Dundee Great looking wee swim tail softbaits. Are you sure the 'tear drop' is 1/4 oz looks like a 1/16th ??
    I use some little fine clips made by 'Dragon' instead of swivel clips. They are very good and avoid the clanging that swivel clips can make when the soft is pulsed - sink, lift, sink, lift
    I'm glad to see you fishing again, but isn't this the time of year to be stacking Hares in the freezer for Bo ?

    1/4oz Moa Hunter,Bo is on day three of hare meals tomorrow, then back to Tux for a bit.Fishing has been tuff lately in the upper section of the mid Manawatu the spawning runs haven't quite got this far up yet.And only a few tribs above where I fish. Might have to try Oringi again next weekend where more tribs flow into the river.

    Some years ago, my mother was sequestered in Whangarei Hospital. Not being able to keep a bedside vigil for too long and being a keen fly-fisherman, I ventured out and fished any stream I could find that Mrs Google had identified. I did catch a very small trout in a stream off just north of Kamo on the by-pass.

    Kai Iwi Lakes perchance?

    Opening day blank!

    First stream up and dirty, second up but clearing.

    Caught my first streamside vegetation for the season...a bit rusty.
