    The weather has been good down South over the past week. Fishing on the Waiau River 7pm - 9pm (in the dark).

    Hooked into 7+ fish on Wednesday - landed 4, tossed one brown back to live another day, lost 3+ rainbow after they jumped and spit the fly

    Hooked into 10+ fish on Friday - landed 4, lost 6+, nabbed an eel with knife while cleaning trout

    Major rise going on from 7pm to 9pm - had fish at my feet when I turned on my head lamp !

    Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

    I am not sure what that big ugly fly is called - it looks like some variant of a "bugger streamer" - maybe an UGLY BUGGER STREAMER

    It is not articulated.

    Here is a photo of 4 different flies that I used over two hours (7pm - 9pm) on the same night - and landed a fish with each.

    The small black dry is a Black Gnat - looks like a Twilight Beauty - but is black - obviously.

    I stocked up on some fishing gear before I moved back to NZ.
