    A couple from Tekapo at the canals today.
    The "small" one is about 10lb. :-)

    Damn they are in good condition. What had they been feeding on?
    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

    Damn, they're in lovely condition! Beautiful rainbows! Good stuff mate. I'm still trying to crack the 10lb mark up there. Been fishing it regularly for the past 4-5yrs & consistently catch fish, yet biggest I've managed has been 7lb.

    Cheers Pixie, I have also struggled with the big rainbows there for a few years, but I'm hoping that I have cracked the method now. I managed to release a few decent fish too last trip and am looking forward to finding out if it is repeatable next trip!

    Try fishing a prawn on the bottom, usually good for catching a few.

    Yep, I think I remember the guy in the shop in Twizel saying that they took it in to be weighed.
