About LinkBacksThanks for clearing that up Rushy. I gave it a swim yesterday and today. The guy that owns one of the local sports stores is formally from the Waikato. I lost a good bugger tonight on the Tokoroa Chicken,saw the take then retreived an empty line.
Will go and get some more when the store is open again.
88 trout was my talley for 2022.
On the board for 2023 with a tiddler that was released.

Good of you to change that little ones nappies and send her back to mum. Ha ha ha ha toddler alright.
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

Got to the canals yesterday and had a long but productive time.
12lb Salmon was my best fish of the day. An epic scrap on the softbait rod, 8lb leader made for a long and patient fight. Guy next to me got a 25lb rainbow which we managed to release successfully.

Moved down to Otago yesterday and decided I would give freshwater fishing a crack for the first time in a decade and a half. Watched a few YouTube clips and went for a walk yesterday afternoon to check out some local spots. Popped back to one of them this morning had a few casts and caught breakfast. Stoked!
Nothing like some of the monsters on here (barely legal) but it was my first catch so it went in the oven for breakfast.
Caught on the Hāwea river on a black and yellow tazzy devil on my fith cast.Last edited by Haggie; 13-01-2023 at 08:58 PM.

Caught both a rainbow and a brown this arvo. Both quite small so caught and released.
Are lake shores worth fishing in summer? Was thinking of giving the lower reaches of the Makarora river a try if the lakes aren’t worth spinning along the edges.

@Haggie summer fishing of lakes can still be good, probably better early morning or late evening. The fish will move into deeper water as the day warms up.
