    No trout today . . . . but caught a few salmon in the Tekapo Canal last week. We heard rumor of a recent "escape" and fished Thursday AM through Sunday lunch time.

    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.

    OK Im impressed !!!
    In Twizel for the next 2 days for work and have the rod in .... but don't realistically expect to be able to wiggle free and have a flick.
    You should give us a heads up on some time you are going to come up to fish and I will bring @HarryCHCH down with me for a catch up.
    He's getting into the fishing now... got his first legal trout on the Westcoast with me 3 weeks ago about one hour after he got his first ever multi point red stag.
    Regards

    I did tell Harry that I was headed to Twizel / Tekapo area - two weeks before the trip - and suggested we should meet there for a few days hunting ! He told me about your trip to the West Coast and was very proud of the stag he shot - have not seen any photos yet.

    Let me know when you are heading out for a few days and I could meet you somewhere.

    i guess you had to keep knocking the ice off the rings in the mornings aye. When I drove thru, the ice was building up on bull bars and aerial. Had to stop because the aerial had ice the same thickness as my thumb, and was hitting the roof

    Yes, there was some ice build up on the rod rings - but no wind and it was quite comfortable once the sun come up !

    Waiteti looks like a dairy shed run off and couldn't find any fish on either it or the Ngongotaha.

    Suns out today at least

    Shouldn't be, more just dirty from a decent rain.
