    Five rods and I was the only one that landed one.Mrs D hooked one and it snapped the nylon and took off with a fancy piercing on the lip.

    I am finally on the board for the 2015-2016 season. A good friend took me out to a new found SPOT X on the Oreti River just outside Invercargill.

    These weighed in at 3lb 11oz and 3lb 13oz (gutted) on the kitchen scales.

    Yes, Catch and Eat is the name of the game down here.

    A couple of nice looking fish. Well done.
    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

    With the length on that spool I can cast from Dannevike to Pahiatua
    Went back down at 1600hrs for a bit longer. Sighted a beauty from the top of a bank and a few carefully aimed casts had this rainbow fighting. I had to take the fighting trout 50 metres downstream before I could land it as the bank was to steep.Trout came to the waters edge just as the lure came free. Some fast work and job done.

    Trout gutted and packed away and I carried on fishing when I saw an eel 20 metres down stream heading to the gutz so I followed it up and took a few pics.
