    A strong downstream wind made nymphing challenging but I still managed to have some success.
    Hooked 7 and landed all 7, not very often I pull that off

    Not long back from our annual pilgrimage to Lake Rotoiti. Fishing was a little slow, but caught some nice conditioned fish. Great eating.

    Happy days at the Groynes thanks to the good folks who stock the kids’ fishing lakes. Zoë’s first on a nymph, she’s learning to tie them herself now��

    With the main runs pretty much done, I had a whole stretch of river to myself with the decline in angler pressure.
    There's still plenty of fish moving though, hooking 11, landing 9....all but 1 were primo condition, silver as and full of fight.
    Highlight of the day were 2 stunning hens - 5.5lbs and 5lbs, full of eggs that were released to continue their journey.
    And then a fat as 4.5lb jack that got a ride home

    Yes, a pristine day on Lake Roxburgh. Very aggressive rainbow at the mouth of Shingle Creek during our lunch stop.

    Must reread this entire thread. The rainbow that I hooked was on this wee Gold Rush lure, which has a lot of similarities to the Mepps Thunderbugs that @Dundee favours. My first cast was with a Veltic which hooked up on first cast but was promptly spat out and then to add insult to injury, the damn fish started to leap about on the surface then disappeared. Changed lures a few times but no bites. Found this one, still new in the packet, and sent it. Second cast, it got absolutely smashed and the rest was history.
