    Well not exactly a trout, but my first salmon.
    Managed to sneak in a couple of hours fishing at Twizel this morning. Looking forward to dinner tonight.

    I love my starlo stix rod. The action is amazing for the price point. I use it as my go to when bottom fishing for snapper or what have you. Played a really big skip jack tuna on it for about 15 minutes, was the most fun ive had on a rod I reckon.

    Yeah @Gibo. They are a great piece of kit. Very versatile. I've used mine for trout, snapper, kahawai, kings and now salmon. Before I landed the salmon I played a rainbow for about 3 minutes before I dropped it. It would have gone 15lb easily. A guy fishing along from me also landed a salmon of about 20lb. My fish was small by comparison (just double figures) but not obese like some of them. Great eating too.

    Still waiting for the 1st of the season, with the rain and river not helping...
    Closest I got tonight was one taking the piss out of me from across the river no interest in any luresthe splash is it on other side and the ripple is it doing the middle finger.
    Full moon and saw a few rising on way back down river.
    Got home just as it pissed down again..can't wait for spring to arrive😜

    Was out chasing sea runners but landed one of the local residents.
    A bit skinny but a good fish at 75cm in length!

    Blowing like a Queen Street hooker down there tonight.
    River was flowing backwards but landed a small brown about 1.5lb as a guesstimate

    Got a full spool and the wind caused a birds nest so was back before dark.

    No hookers on Queen Street Dundee. But just around the corner off both ends is a different story. Not sure how I would know that. Probably making it up.

    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
