    What do you need a shearer for Dundee. You are a bloody dairy farmer.
    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!

    Caught two 4 kg fish in one afternoon a couple of weeks ago ... finally got the images off my mate who has been off fishing all over the south island ever since.
    North Canterbury high country on a Rapala and spin fishing into the holes that were un-fishable by the fly fishers.

    I lost two big ones ( broken hooks ) in the Upper Grey the week before and also broke my rod on a 2kg brown.
    So it was nice to land a couple of trophy size ones this time.

    Catch Any Trout Today?

    Certainly some good fishing to be had.
    I nipped down to the local creek for a bit of R&R this arvo. Picked up a good condition rainbow hen after only a couple casts. Too small so let it go for another day.
    Found a back water that had promise and hooked an old jack that was in poor condition so let him go too. He was well past his prime but would have been a good fish in his day.

    Found another fish cruising a beat another 50m upstream. Great fight from a surpurbly conditioned hen. The MIL is in town and like smoked trout so this one came home.

    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

    Got a mate downstream into fresh water fishing.He and his mate came out last night and grabbed some lures off me and went back to the river at his place.They were itching to give it a go but the warehouse was only shop open and the bought rods with 15lb nylon which is not ideal for trout fishing.The trout will see the line.
    Anyway young fella asks me to go to H&F this morning and heres my mate spending up on freshwater fishing gear. Rod and reel withe line,lures,tackle box,polaroid glasses,and a fishing pack and a licence.......................$350.00
    Dude at H&F owes me a deal or two now.
    I went fishing for a couple of hours this arvo and seen heaps.

    That rainbow looks more like a rugby ball than a fish

    One minute Trout! Spent the afternoon with my wife, daughter, husband and three grand kids on the Great Lake, out of Whangmata Bay to the left into Whakaipo Bay, for a lazy afternoon swimming and enjoying a magic day, weather and lake perfect! Left about 4 pm and stopped for a quick bit of jig fishing half back into Whangamata Bay. Dropped in 3 Ginger Micks, 46 metres, hit the bottom and Whamo nice hen, chucked rod in boat, Grand kids suitably impressed, trout for breakfast! Doesn't get easier than that!Name:  image.jpg
