    There's no doubt that the average weight of the fish is going up as the numbers dwindle, as you would expect. As of tomorrow, anything goes. Spearfishing, netting dynamite? Kai Iwi Lakes is no longer a concern of Fish & Game.

    Fish fish for the new season. Caught a couple nice browns in the upper Mohaka. Both self releasing �� on kids gear (spin fishing) plus an angry rainbow who inhaled a #2 Veltic and ended up being unfortunately taken. Also my first on the fly for the season was an energetic but small brown who lived to fight another day. The way out was rather wet but still enjoyable.

    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

    My second for the season. A brown from Argyle that will be smoked tomorrow. It may end up at the Penguins banquet if I don't eat it before Saturday.

    1110: It ain't going so well. Not a single bite. Would normally have a couple in the bag by now.

    Keep at it.
    I fished for a couple of hours yesterday and only had one bite but that was all that was needed.

    On reading the post from TrapperJohn, I drove to the Promenade Point at the main Kai Iwi lake, getting there at dawn and spent a couple of hours casting into the drop off, unfortunately, not a sign of a fish.

    But a beautiful place, there were a couple of campers there, but still asleep when I left, no other fishermen.

    I'm glad I got to see it when it wasn't full of screaming holidaymakers

    Glen, Bill, and I walked down the hill from Lees Valley road on Saturday morning and fished up through part of the Gorge. We caught 8 but landed only 1 on the flyrod and the rest on softbaits fished upstream with the new braid 1/16 oz jig heads. All except one were small bastards - silver one pounders that had come in from the sea in March. Quite a big stag crossed the river and came down the other side toward us before heading into the bush

    Dead right. One bite at 1530 resulted in a good conditioned hen. Solid 5lb.
